San Jose Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys
Northern California Paralysis Lawyers
As many as 8,000 people in the United States suffer spinal cord injuries each year. These devastating injuries are often the result of accidents such as auto accidents, physical abuse, gun shots, swimming accidents, on the job accidents, and slip and fall accidents. With the representation of a skilled spinal cord injury attorney you may be able to recover monetary compensation for your injury, pain and suffering, hospital costs, doctor bills, and loss of wages.
Injuries to the spinal cord vary according the severity of the trauma, some resulting in temporary injury and some resulting in long-term paralysis. In most cases the spinal cord victim never fully regains the level of function he or she had before the accident. Spinal cord injury may result in:
- Paraplegia
- Quadriplegia
- Motor difficulties
- Bowel difficulties
- Sexual and reproductive difficulties
Along with the physical consequences of a spinal cord injury, the victim's personal life may also be affected, including employment, marriage, and relations with others. The medical care and damages from these types of injuries can be catastrophic and require immediate professional assistance from a qualified spinal cord injury lawyer.
