Legal Help for Spine Injuries
The spine is composed of the bony vertebrae and the cushioning discs between them. The spine, or backbone, contains and protects the spinal cord, which transfers signals between the brain and the rest of the body.
Spine Injury Symptoms and Mechanisms
A spine injury can cause extreme pain in the back, neck, legs and arms. Some spine injuries can impinge on the spinal cord, causing nerve damage that results in weakness, numbness and tingling.
Paraplegia (paralysis from the waist down) or quadriplegia (paralysis from the neck down) can occur when spine injuries are serious enough to tear or sever the spinal cord.
At Biren | Katzman Trial Lawyers, we have more than 35 years of experience representing clients who have experienced spine injuries due to the negligence of others. We have the requisite skills to obtain full compensation for clients with spine injuries, including herniated discs or other serious trauma induced spine related problems.
To learn more about this area of our practice, please visit the following pages:
- Lumbar/Back Fusion Surgeries: A herniated disc or other spine injury may require spinal fusion of vertebrae in the lower back.
- Cervical/Neck Fusion Surgeries: Patients who undergo neck fusion surgery are at higher risk for needing another fusion to adjacent vertebrae in the future.
- Spine Injury Causes: Spine injuries can be caused in virtually unlimited ways, including motor vehicle accidents, industrial accidents, construction accidents, falls, being hit by an object or anything causing sudden violent motion of the spine. Injuries to the spine are often difficult to prove. Objective tests, such as MRIs and CT scans do not always document the problem. In addition, defendants and their insurance companies often insist that the back or neck pain and dysfunction was due to a pre-existing condition and not related to the accident.
