Spinal Cord Injury Information
Spinal cord injury is a serious trauma whereby the spinal cord, which ensures proper flow of nerve signals from the brain to various parts of the body, becomes damaged. Depending on the severity of trauma, the injured person can lose sensation and/or function in the legs, arms and other body parts.
Medical professionals typically define spinal cord injuries as complete or incomplete injuries. A complete injury causes the death of spinal cord tissue, which in turn causes paralysis below the injury site. Victims of incomplete spinal cord injury may retain some sensation and function below the injury site and sometimes are able to fully recover.
In many instances, someone with a spinal cord injury (SCI) can end up having to undergo training to work in a different kind of job. The injury victim also may not be able to participate in some of the activities that he or she used to take part in before getting hurt. A person with a spinal cord injury may have to undergo long-term care. Certain medical costs may not be covered by insurance. At Max Recovery Lawyers, our spinal cord injury attorneys have helped many SCI victims recover compensation for medical expenses and other costs related to their SCIs. Career retraining, rehabilitation costs and long-term medical care are taken into account when we estimate damages and aggressively negotiate on your behalf or present your case in court.
