A spinal cord injury is damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal. This injury often causes permanent changes in strength, sensation, and other bodily functions below the site of the injury.
Successful claims depend on establishing duty of care, breach of that duty, causation, and damages. Gathering medical records, accident reports, and witness statements forms a critical part of the claims process.
