Experienced Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers
When people think of spinal cord injuries, the first thing that comes to mind is paralysis. While paralysis, paraplegia, and quadriplegia are common results of spinal cord injuries, there are also less severe results that can nonetheless have significant short and long term-consequences. Cervical injury, thoracic injury, lumbar injury, or sacral injury are associated with specific parts of the body. Some of the common results of spinal cord injuries are:
- Paralysis, paraplegia, and quadriplegia
- Lack of bowel and bladder control
- Loss of sexual function
- Heart rate and blood pressure problems
- Inability to control body temperature
- Chronic pain
- Incontinence
