Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers
Without question, when the bundle of nerves making up the spinal cord are damaged or injured, the results can be devastating. In fact, spinal cord injuries are often fatal. Even those having sustained a nonfatal spinal cord injury are likely to need long-term treatment, depending on the location and extent of damage. In either case, victims and their families are left with a tremendous burden. What’s even more tragic is when a spinal cord injury is a result of negligence or wrongdoing of another.
