WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPINAL CORD INJURIES?

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are typically classified as complete or incomplete. With complete spinal cord injuries, the victim loses sensation and muscle control below the level where the injury occurred along the spine. The degree of paralysis the individual experiences depends on the location of the injury.

With incomplete spinal injuries, the victim retains some degree of motor and sensory function below the level of the injury, although the extent to which they can feel or move can vary greatly. In general, victims of incomplete spinal injuries may be able to achieve some measure of recovery after their accident.

Regardless of whether you have suffered a complete or incomplete spinal injury, our skilled personal injury attorneys will fight tirelessly to ensure you receive the maximum in compensation available to you and damages that truly reflect the impact of your accident on all aspects of your life.
