The Effects of a Spinal Cord Injury

The physical consequences of a spinal cord injury vary from patient to patient, from muscular pain to nerve damage requiring lengthy medical treatment.

In many cases, the consequences of a spinal cord injury include:

  • Paraparesis: a partial paralysis of the victim’s lower extremities
  • Paraplegia: the complete paralysis of a patient’s lower extremities
  • Quadriparesis: a partial paralysis of all four of a person’s extremities
  • Quadriplegia: the complete paralysis of all four of a victim’s extremities

The Costs of a Spinal Cord Injury

Aside from the physical limitations imposed on spinal cord injury victims, the lifetime financial burden (healthcare costs, loss of wages) can also be overwhelming, sometimes reaching well into the millions. Many families cannot afford to pay such high medical costs.

That’s why you need a spinal cord injury attorney who will fight for you. The team of spinal cord injury lawyers at Fieger Law understands your pain and suffering. They also know the law and your right to proper compensation.
