Spinal Cord
Injury lawyers

Spinal cord injuries rank among one of the most serious injuries that a human can survive. Spinal injuries can produce total or partial paralysis of the voluntary muscles below the injury site, total or partial loss of sensation below the injury, and defects in the autonomic nervous system that controls involuntary actions such as respiration and heartbeat. Until the second world war, a paralyzing spinal injury that was not instantly fatal resulted eventually in death with few exceptions because of the development of infection of the urinary tract, pneumonia, or infections from pressure sores. Since World War II, the accumulation of better knowledge about the pathological processes that take place in the spinal cord immediately after trauma, plus the introduction of antibiotics, has made long-term survival possible for most patients with spinal cord injuries. However, the recovery potential for patients with a complete spinal cord lesion—that is, total loss of motor control and sensation below the level of the injury—is severely limited because of the apparent inability of the cord to regenerate its own tissues.
