Top Law Firm Representing Victims Of Spinal Cord Injuries In Stuart
Although spinal cord injuries sometimes subside in a few days or weeks, other spinal cord injuries can be catastrophic and permanently disabling. A severe spinal cord injury is sometimes the result of a work site mishap, a traffic collision or a slip-and-fall accident. If you suffer any blow to the spinal cord, consult with your doctor immediately. If you’ve been injured, it is imperative for your doctor to evaluate your condition and determine the best course of treatment.

Across the U.S., about 12,000 spinal cord injuries are reported each year, and a quarter-million people in the U.S. are now living with a spinal cord injury. Spinal cord injuries can cause a decrease or loss of the ability to move, a decrease or loss of sensation, and a decrease or complete loss of certain body organ functions. Spinal cord injuries happen when the spinal cord itself, the vertebrae, ligaments, and/or the discs of the spinal column are damaged. Spinal cord injuries sometimes cause permanent disability in both adults and children.
What Are The Effects Of A Spinal Cord Injury?
When someone’s spinal cord is damaged, the consequences may be long term and severe. A bulging disc is typically an indication of cervical radiculopathy, which can be the root cause of persistent chronic pain and the loss of sensation in different body parts. While spinal cord injuries happen most typically in falls, traffic or sports accidents, and in violent incidents like shootings and stabbings, the truth is that any damage to the vertebrae has the potential to cause a serious spinal cord injury.
