Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal Cord Injury Resulting from Medical Malpractice

One serious surgical error—accidental nicking or severing of the spinal cord—can result in temporary or permanent paralysis. How much of the body is paralyzed depends on what part of the spinal cord is injured. Unfortunately, in some cases there is nothing that be done after an injury to the spinal cord. Victims remain severely disabled for the remainder of their lives, requiring ongoing care. All types of spinal cord injuries can have lasting effects.
