The Effects of a Spinal Cord Injury
The spinal cord is comprised of a bundle of nerves that connect the brain to the rest of the body. Together, these two organs comprise the body’s central nervous system. As a result, any damage to the spinal cord could result in an inability of the rest of the body to carry out the brain’s commands. A sprain or strain of the vertebral ligaments could leave a victim in serious pain and with a loss of mobility. Any damage to the spinal cord itself may result in a loss of motor function, paralysis, or organ failure. A committed attorney could speak to medical professionals to understand the nature of your spinal cord injuries and collect documentation of your injuries to help recover compensation.
