Pearland Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

Combined with the brain, the spinal cord makes up the body’s central nervous system. It functions as the transmitter of neural signals between the brain and the rest of the body. Any amount of trauma to the spinal cord can have severe consequences, including making the body unable to function on a daily basis.

After an accident, a spine injury is not always readily noticeable. If you’ve been involved in an accident that may have affected your spinal cord, be aware of possible symptoms including localized or shooting pain, numbness, tingling, or unusual nerve sensations. These symptoms can lead to permanent, severe damage, so seek medical attention immediately.

Pearland Spinal Cord Injury

Paraplegia

When a spinal cord injury occurs, the victim may develop paraplegia if the point of injury is at or below the thoracic (chest) spinal levels; paraplegia is the impairment of motor or sensory function of the lower extremities. Paraplegia can either be “complete,” meaning there is no feeling or function below the point of injury, or “incomplete,” meaning the patient retains some level of feeling and function below the point of injury. According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, there are approximately 17,000 new spinal cord injuries per year in the United States. 

Quadriplegia

There are more than 5,000 cervical (neck) spinal cord injuries in the United States every year. This type of spine injury can result in quadriplegia. Quadriplegia is paralysis that results in the partial or total loss of use of all the victim’s limbs and torso. This condition can also be either complete or incomplete.
