Texas Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys

Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injury can happen to anyone in any number of ways. Young males between the ages of 16 and 30 are the most common victims. Males of all ages make up the majority of spinal cord injuries. Spinal cord injury is devastating and is often progressive in nature. It is possible to have spinal cord damage and not be immediately aware of that fact. As swelling and inflammation increase so does the damage to the spinal cord. Injuries to the head, neck and back may ultimately result in spinal cord injury. The immediate symptoms can range from mild, vague sensory changes to paralysis.

If you have suffered trauma to the head, neck or back, it is imperative that you seek immediate medical attention. Emergency medical care can minimize damage to your spinal cord. In addition, you must contact a Texas spinal cord injury attorney as soon as feasibly possible. The Begum Law Group attorneys are seasoned experts in spinal cord injury. We are a Texas law firm with offices in San Antonio, Brownsville and McAllen. We have the resources available to ensure that your immediate as well as long term needs are met. We know that you are likely facing a lifetime of challenges. We will investigate your accident, determine liability and hold the negligent accountable.

The spinal cord is the messenger for the body. Nerve impulses travel from your spinal cord throughout the rest of your body. If the spinal cord is damaged, the nerve impulses do not have a clear conduit to the rest of the body. Different portions of the spinal cord activate different parts of the body; therefore, symptoms will vary depending on the location of your injury. Generally, all of the nerve impulses above the area of damage remain intact. After a spinal cord injury, you will be dealing with major medical concerns. You will be completely overwhelmed and will need the help of a Texas spinal cord injury attorney.

Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injuries are sudden and can happen to anyone at any time. Some of the most common causes are:

  • Auto accidents
  • 18 wheeler accidents
  • Slip and fall injury
  • Sporting activities
  • Diving head first into any body of water
  • Birth injury
  • Horseback riding

Symptoms of Spinal Cord injury

Spinal cord injury falls into two basic categories, complete (total loss of nerve conduction) and incomplete (partial loss of nerve conduction). Resulting symptoms depend on location and degree of damage. They include:

  • Pain
  • Weakness
  • Loss of normal bladder and bowel control
  • Numbness
  • Sensory changes
  • Paralysis
