An Experienced Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer in Boston, Worcester, Springfield and Throughout Massachusetts Will Provide Aggressive Representation

Over 10,000 people in the U.S. suffer a spinal cord injury, also called SCI, each year. SCI is defined as any damage to the spinal cord that results in loss of function or mobility.

Spinal cord injuries can be caused by trauma or disease and can result in temporary or permanent loss of sensation, loss of movement (paralysis), or loss of bowel or bladder control.

Car accidents are the primary cause, but violence-related accidents have been increasing steadily as a cause of spinal cord injuries. Falls and sports accidents also cause many SCIs each year.

There are two types of spinal cord injury:

• Complete spinal cord injury is one in which the victim has no sensation or voluntary motor movement on either side of the body below the level of the injury. Generally speaking, neck injuries will lead to paralysis of all limbs (quadriplegia) while thoracic injuries cause paralysis to the lower limbs only (paraplegia).
• Incomplete spinal cord injury is one in which the victim has some feeling or partial movement. An incomplete cervical injury can leave the patient with some hand use, while a complete cervical injury can require the patient to be on a ventilator.
