Spinal Cord Injuries
Atlanta, Georgia Personal Injury Lawyer


Injuries to the neck or back that result in serious harm usually involve the spinal cord. The spinal cord is a tight collection of nerves that act as the communications link between the brain and the rest of the body. When these nerves are injured, no clear communication can occur. If the injury is serious enough, communication stops.

Faulty communication results in some type of physical impairment. Stopping the communication means the victim is paralyzed in either his legs, arms, or both. Spinal cord injuries also result in lots of pain. There can be trouble with use of the lungs, bladder, and/or bowels.

These injuries mean a lot of monetary damages to be considered: not only the extensive medical expenses are involved, but also pain and suffering, lost wages, lost future earnings, and the like. Pursuing these cases is also expensive: medical expertise must be sought and obtained to confirm the injury's cause and resulting harm.
