Spinal Cord Injuries in New York

A spinal cord injury can potentially change your entire life forever. Since the spinal cord controls essential bodily functions, any type of damage can cause permanent, debilitating disabilities such as partial or complete paralysis.

Common causes of spinal cord injuries include:

Since this is considered a catastrophic injury, continual treatment and care can become a financial burden on the victim and his or her family. If your spinal cord injury was caused by the negligent actions of another party in New York, our Rochester personal injury attorney at King Law can help you recover your entitled compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, as well as pain and suffering.

What is a Spinal Cord Injury?

A spinal cord injury occurs when a traumatic force damages the cells in the spine or severs the nerves which relay signals from the body to the brain. All spinal cord injuries are generally divided into two broad categories: complete and incomplete. Complete injuries happen when the spinal cord is severed entirely, while incomplete injuries occur when the cord is partially severed and enables victims to regain/retain some function.

Spinal cord injuries may result in one or more of the following signs and symptoms:

Loss of movement, such as paralysis

Loss of sensation, including the ability to feel temperatures and touch

Loss of bladder or bowel control

Spasms

Pain or an intense stinging sensation

Breathing difficulties

Changes in sexual function

Depression and anxiety
