A spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when the damage to the spine is so severe that the injured person experiences the loss of physical movement or sensation. There are at least 11,000 new cases of spinal cord injuries in the United States each year. Many of these SCIs are caused by car accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, pedestrian accidents, sports-related accidents, and other kinds of personal injury accidents.

Common Kinds of Spinal Cord Injuries

Common kinds of spinal cord injuries include contusion (spinal bruising), compression (pressure on the spine), spinal fractures, a broken back, a herniated disk, paralysis, a fractured vertebra, quadriplegia, paraplegia, loss of ability to function sexually, loss of bladder control, and loss of bowel control. Respiratory problems, bedsores, severe depression, and emotional trauma are just some of the effects that can result from a spinal cord injury. Common tasks, such as getting out of bed or walking across the room can become extremely painful—even impossible—when you have a spinal cord injury. It can be especially traumatic to have your injury occur in an accident that was someone else's fault.

Recovery from a spinal cord injury can be long and costly. While many people with a spinal injury can recover after a period of proper treatment and therapy, there are those who will never recover, are forever confined to a wheelchair or bed, and whose medical care is for life. A good personal injury law firm that understands the nature of spinal cord injuries and the complexities of SCI cases can help you demand the maximum recovery possible from any liable parties so that you can afford to get the care that you need.

Our spinal cord injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C. are experienced in dealing with spinal cord injury cases. We take your injuries so seriously that we even have a doctor with a law degree on our staff. He will examine your SCI and assess how long it will take for you to recover so that we can file a personal injury claim in line with all current and future costs that your injury may incur.

We care about you, your recovery, and your quality of life. We will take immediate and aggressive action to make the liable party pay for your injuries, pain, suffering, medical bills, lost wages, and any other damages that are applicable to your case.

We would like to offer you a free, no obligation consultation so that we can start developing a plan of action together.
