When you are involved in an accident with life-changing consequences caused by someone else’s misconduct, you should reach out to an experienced catastrophic injury attorney. A North Kansas City spinal cord injury lawyer at BG Law could help you seek comprehensive compensation for your damages.
Your spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that runs down the middle of your back. It carries signals back and forth between your body and your brain. A spinal cord injury disrupts the signals. Spinal cord injuries usually begin with a blow that fractures or dislocates your vertebrae, the bone disks that make up your spine. Most injuries don’t cut through your spinal cord. Instead, they cause damage when pieces of vertebrae tear into cord tissue or press down on the nerve parts that carry signals.
Spinal cord injuries can be complete or incomplete. With a complete spinal cord injury, the cord can’t send signals below the level of the injury. As a result, you are paralyzed below the injury. With an incomplete injury, you have some movement and sensation below the injury. Whether your spinal cord injury is complete or incomplete, a diligent North Kansas City attorney could help you seek fair financial recovery for all of your losses.
