Riverside Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

The spinal cord, part of your central nervous system, is a long, tubular bundle of nerves running from the brain to about the waist.  The spinal cord is about 18 inches long, and carries nerve impulses from the brain to the rest of the body. The spinal cord is protected by the bones in your back – the cervical, thoracic, and lumbrosacral vertebrae.

Spinal cord injuries, like traumatic brain injuries, are a type of catastrophic injury – an injury that causes life-altering, permanent damage to the body.  Spinal cord injuries not only change the life of the victim, but also the lives of loved ones and family members. Some spinal cord injury victims require life-long, around the clock medical attention.  Spinal cord injury victims are also at risk for numerous other medical complications, such as pressure sores and pneumonia.

How is the Spinal Cord Injured?

When the spinal cord becomes injured, the nerve pathways that transmit signals from the rest of the body to the brain are damaged.  Depending on the severity of a spinal cord injury, the victim may have no feeling or sensation below the injury location. This is called a complete injury and results in paralysis. 

Paraplegia and quadriplegia are sensory impairments that may result from spinal cord injuries. Paraplegia is paralysis below the hips or lower back.  Quadriplegia results from an injury higher on the spinal cord, and is by definition, paralysis of all four limbs.
