Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers – Edgar Law Firm
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a disabling medical condition that often leads to impaired function or complete loss of sensory, motor and voluntary reflexes. SCI may result from a direct blow to the spinal cord or from damage to the surrounding tissues and blood vessels that indirectly disrupts the communication process of the central nervous system.

Spinal cord injuries are divided into two levels of severity: complete spinal cord injury and incomplete spinal cord injury. Individuals who suffer from a complete spinal cord injury are fully disabled below the site of the injury. Victim of incomplete SCI have either some feeling or some movement ability below the site of the injury. However, any type of spinal cord injury is extremely serious and requires immediate medical attention, physical therapy and rehabilitation in order to prevent further damage and, if possible, restore some function. The most common factors that lead to trauma of the spine, and thus permanent paralysis, include motor vehicle accidents, birth injuries, defective products and other situations frequently caused by negligence. In such cases the spinal cord injury victim is often eligible to receive monetary damages from the responsible party and/or their insurance company.
Sadly, auto and trucking accidents are among the leading causes of SCI and account for more than 40 percent of all spinal cord injuries, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
