Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys

Every year, around 11,000 Americans will suffer a new spinal cord injury, adding to the already 250,000-400,000 Americans currently suffering from a spinal cord injury. Most of these injuries are caused from auto and sports accidents, falls, and industrial mishaps. An estimated 60 percent of these individuals are 30 years old or younger, with the majority of them being men.

Spinal cord injuries are when damage occurs to the spinal cord that results in a loss of function such as mobility or feeling. Other common causes of damage are trauma (gunshot, falls, etc.) or disease (polio).

The spinal cord carries nerve impulses to and from the brain to the rest of the body. The brain and the spinal cord constitute the Central Nervous System. Motor and sensory nerves outside the central nervous system constitute the Peripheral Nervous System, and another diffuse system of nerves that control involuntary functions such as blood pressure and temperature regulation are the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems.
