Virginia Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

Spinal Cord Injury Claims in Northern Virginia

In any given year, it is estimated that more than 11,000 people suffer a spinal cord injury in the United States. The spinal cord is a large group of nerves that runs from the base of the brain and down the back. The nerves are protected within the vertebrae and a spinal injury generally occurs when the vertebrae are injured and impact the nerves. A sudden blow or a dislocation of the vertebrae can cause serious injury. Spinal cord injuries can result in loss of mobility, loss of sensation and paralysis, either paraplegia or quadriplegia.

A spinal cord injury can affect the rest of your life and require very expensive and ongoing medical care and treatment, as well as resulting in a life that has been forever altered. If you have suffered a spinal cord injury due to an accident where negligence was involved, it is very important that you contact a Virginia personal injury attorney right away.
