New York Spinal Cord Lawyers

The spinal cord is the body of nerves that carries messages from the brain to the body. The spinal cord is enclosed in the spinal column, which is composed of bony rings, or "vertebra." The position of spinal cord injury along the spinal column dictates where in the body, effects will be felt. Damage to the top or "cervical section" of the spinal cord often results in quadriplegia. Damage to the middle "thoracic" section may cause paraplegia, and damage to the lower lumbar or sacral nerves can decrease function in the legs and hips.

The leading cause of spinal cord injury in the U.S. is auto accidents. Other causes are falls, violence, sports injuries, workplace injuries, and diseases. Although immediate treatment and rehabilitation have increased the life expectancy of most patients, a spinal cord injury is still likely to have a dramatic effect on the injured person's life.
