New York Injury and Accident Attorney
Spinal Cord Injury
The spinal cord is a group of nerves that connects the brain to the rest of the nerves and muscles throughout the body. Injuries to the spinal cord usually happen as a result of a heavy impact to the back, head or neck that fractures or displaces bones in the spine called vertebrae. The most common cause of spinal cord injuries is car accidents, but injuries can also occur in sports, by falling, and by some diseases.
The most serious injuries to the spinal cord cause permanent damage that is irreparable. Victims of these injuries can be left paralyzed for life, requiring long-term medical care that can cost them and their families hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to monetary compensation from those responsible.
