Spinal Cord Injury?

Let our DC and Boston Injury Attorneys Help

Spinal cord injury is a devastating condition usually caused by automobile accidents, accidental falls or gunshots. A Washington DC or Boston injury lawyer at Pollack & Flanders, LLP, assists victims experiencing anything from persistent tingling in a limb to complete quadriplegia.

Severity of Spinal Cord Injuries

The amount of the body that is affected by a spinal cord injury depends on the proximity of the injury to the nerve bundle that comprises the spinal cord. In general, the higher the injury is located on the spinal cord, the more severe the injury. For example, a cervical or neck injury often results in quadriplegia, whereas a thoracic, or chest-level, injury may result in loss of control of the hips or legs.

A spinal cord injury may also be considered “complete” or “incomplete,” depending upon the level of mobility that the patient has in the affected limbs. If the nerves are not completely damaged, a spinal cord injury victim may have limited movement or feeling in the affected limbs.
