Getting justice for spinal cord injury victims

A spinal cord injury is serious. It can leave you with loss of movement – or even paralyze you for life and confine you to a wheelchair.

Here’s what else you should know:

• Spinal cord injuries typically happen during an auto accident or other trauma, when one or more vertebrae or disks in your spine become dislocated.
• These vertebrae or disks can tear, bruise or crush the spinal cord or damage the nerve root.
• A spinal cord injury can take place in the cervical (upper), thoracic (middle) or lumbar (lower) section of the spine.
• A syrinx (a cyst inside the spinal cord) is another common cause of spinal cord injury.

Although helping you with your short-term and long-term medical needs is the first priority, the attorneys at O’Brien Boyd also work with vocational rehabilitation specialists and medical life care planners.
