Jacksonville Spinal Cord Injury Attorney
Lasting Effects of a Spinal Cord Injury
The main causes of spinal cord injuries are auto accidents, sports injuries, and slip and fall accidents. In many cases, when the victim was not at fault in the accident, he or she may file a claim or lawsuit in order to receive a monetary settlement for financial and emotional losses. A Jacksonville accident attorney can help a spinal cord injury victim file a claim, negotiate a settlement with the insurance company and pursue compensation in civil court. When working with a competent lawyer, the injury victim does not have to worry about any of these things and can instead focus on recovery. Some of the lasting effects of a spine injury may include:
- Paraplegia
- Quadriplegia
- Paralysis
- Inability to control bodily functions
- Loss of sexual function
- Loss of bladder and bowel control
- Continued medical treatment and procedures
