Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

Spinal cord injury is a very serious and permanent consequence of thousands of accidents each year. When the spinal cord is damaged, the victim typically loses some or all of their feeling and function from the point of injury down. Partial damage may result in numbness in the extremities or a loss of feeling that may or may not improve over time. Complete damage generally means that there is absolutely no feeling or function from that point downward.

The consequences of spinal cord injury often leave individuals partially or completely paralyzed. In the most serious cases, the lungs and bladder do not function without assistance, so a person must rely on machines in order to survive.

Car accidents are the leading cause of spinal cord injury in the Dayton and Cincinnati areas of Ohio, but other situations such as sports injuries are also frequent causes. If the spinal cord injury that yourself or a loved one is forced to deal with seems to have been the result of someone else's actions, you may be able to file a lawsuit to recover compensation for the damages that you face.

For example, if your son or daughter is paralyzed after being struck by a drunk driver, that driver can be held responsible for the far-reaching consequences of his or her actions. Such consequences include not only medical expenses, but a variety of lifestyle adjustments, loss of income, and pain and suffering.
