Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) refers to damage of the spinal cord that results in function loss. Function loss can include feeling, mobility, and other physiological complications. Common causes of spinal cord injury include auto accidents, sports accidents, construction accidents, falls, and other traumatic injuries sustained by individuals. In order to lose mobility and functions, the spinal cord does not necessarily have to be severed. Most individuals suffering from spinal cord injury have an intact spinal cord, but have suffered damage to it or to surrounding vertebrae.

Patients who suffer from spinal cord injury often suffer lifelong physical and financial losses. Medical bills, reduction in quality of life, and other negative results burden the individual and his or her family. This burden is especially heavy if the injury could have been prevented. It is for this reason that personal injury attorneys dedicate their careers to assisting spinal cord injury victims to receive financial compensation from negligent individuals or entities.

If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury due to the negligence or wrongful act of another, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your losses . Please contact the spinal cord injury attorneys at Bostwick, Peterson & Mitchell today
