Back and Spinal Injury Claims
Any injury to the spinal cord may result in widespread damage, as the spinal cord controls the nerves and muscles that support the rest of the body. These injuries can have a profound impact on your life, limiting your mobility and preventing you from living life on your own terms.
Back injuries can vary tremendously in terms of seriousness, from temporary pain and mild whiplash to complete paralysis. The effects can include:
- Pain, from mild and resolvable to chronic and debilitating;
- Numbness and tingling;
- Involuntary muscle contractions;
- Paralysis, including paraplegia and quadriplegia, depending on the location of the spinal injury;
- Inability to function as before; and
- Phantom limb pains.
