Spinal Cord Injuries and Legal Representation


A spinal cord injury can be devastating and may cause nerve damage leading to permanent loss of bodily function either below the injured area, partial or full paralysis. Victims of a spinal cord injury may experience a loss of sensation and strength and may never make a full recovery. 

Complete loss of motor and sensory functions can lead to the inability to control bowel and bladder functions, unusual muscle spasms, constant pain, difficulty breathing, prolonged respiratory problems and many other medical symptoms. Some people may experience a lack of mobility that requires assistance with daily living and makes working impossible. The physical pain and psychological scars may last a lifetime. Seeking financial recovery for your injuries with the help of an experienced personal injury attorney may ease the financial burden so you can focus on what is most important. 

Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries in Ohio

Many types of accidents may lead to spinal cord injuries. Some of the most common causes of spinal cord injuries include:

  • Falls – falling from heights is the second leading cause of spinal cord injuries, this may occur on construction sites or at a workplace
  • Sporting activities – extremely physical sports put athletes at a greater risk for a spinal cord injury
  • Medical malpractice – medical negligence and errors during surgical procedures can cause a spinal cord injury, paralysis, stroke or even death

No matter the cause, the party at fault should hold financial responsibility for a spinal cord injury to yourself or a loved one. Any spinal cord injury (SCI) that leads to any type of ongoing medical issues, partial or complete paralysis requires the expertise of a personal injury attorney skilled in spinal cord injury cases.
