Nebraska Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers

Were You Seriously Injured?

You may take too much time out of your daily life to consider your spinal cord. This bundle of nerves running from your skull down to your tailbone allows your brain to communicate with the rest of your body, but that communication can be disrupted by a serious injury.

Severity of Injuries

Spinal cord injuries can vary in severity based on where the injury occurred. There are two ways medical professionals classify spinal cord injuries; whether or not the injury is complete, where nearly all to all of the feeling (sensory) and motor function is lost below the point of injury, or whether it is incomplete, where some sensory and motor function remains below the point of injury; whether it is referred to as paraplegia, where pelvic organs, legs and parts of the trunk are affected, or tetraplegia, where pelvic organs, legs, trunk, arms, and hands are affected.

Some of the most common causes of spinal cord injuries are [1]:

• Falls
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Violence
• Alcohol
• Diseases
• High impact sports

There will be a major change in lifestyle if you or a loved one becomes paralyzed following a spinal cord injury that can end up putting a serious financial strain on everyone involved.

However, the costs involved with necessary medical treatment, home and vehicle modifications, and changes to your daily structure don’t need to bankrupt you. If the injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you could have the opportunity to file a personal injury claim in order to receive the financial support you need.
