Long Beach Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

What is a spinal cord injury?

A spinal cord injury means there has been damage to the spinal cord that results in lost or reduced feeling or movement.  The cord does not have to be entirely cut for this to occur - the damage occurs at a cellular level.  It is also possible for a person to break his neck or back, with no spinal cord injury involvement.  The most common causes of spinal cord injuries are car, truck and motorcycle accidents, sports injuries, falls, and violent acts.  Unfortunately, once the spinal cord is damaged, it does not regenerate. 

Many spinal cord injuries cause loss of sensation and partial or complete paralysis below the point of the injury that the person will not recover from.  Loss of bladder and bowel function may also occur.  Spinal cord injuries are very traumatic.  It is very difficult to live with the fact that you may never walk again, or feel the touch of a family member.  A Long Beach personal injury lawyer at our firm will listen to your questions about your accident.  He will evaluate your case, and advise you on best way to proceed to help you receive the damages you deserve.

The Expense of Spinal Cord Injuries

The cost of treatment for a spinal cord injury is major.  A recent study shows that over a lifetime person with a spinal cord injury will have to incur costs of well over a quarter of a million dollars and up.  This includes physical therapy and rehabilitation, which can be lengthy processes.  If the person is fortunate, he will fully recover, but many people suffering from these types of injuries only make a partial recovery.  They never regain the quality of life they are entitled to.  An experienced, caring attorney from Pacific Law Group understands the emotional and physical burden that a spinal cord injury victim lives with every day.  Talk with someone at our firm about your case.  He will work to help you recover the compensation you need to improve your life or the life of someone close to you.
