Our goal is to help you and your loved ones through this challenging period, providing the necessary support, assistance in recovery, and obtaining the compensation you deserve.

What is a Spinal Injury?

A spinal injury is damage that can affect the bones, ligaments, discs, or nerves of the spinal cord. It can result from various incidents such as car accidents, falls, sports injuries, industrial accidents, or physical assault. Regardless of the cause, the consequences of a spinal injury can be devastating, impacting not only physical health but also emotional and mental well-being.

Types of Spinal Injuries

1. Spinal Contusion: Damage to the soft tissues and nerve structures without breaking the bones.
2. Vertebral Fracture: Breaking of one or more vertebrae, often accompanied by spinal cord damage.
3. Vertebral Dislocation (Spondylolisthesis): The displacement of a vertebra forward or backward relative to an adjacent vertebra.
4. Intervertebral Disc Herniation: Damage leading to the leaking of the disc’s inner content, which can compress a nerve.

Symptoms and Consequences of Spinal Injury

The symptoms of a spinal injury can vary depending on the severity and location of the damage and include:

• Back or neck pain
• Loss of sensation or tingling in the limbs
• Muscle weakness or paralysis
• Impaired pelvic organ function (e.g., difficulty with urination or defecation)
• Problems with coordination and balance

These symptoms can significantly disrupt daily life and require prolonged rehabilitation. It is crucial to seek medical attention promptly and begin the recovery process.
