Chicago Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys

Spinal cord injuries can be some of the most life-changing types of injuries a person can suffer. A spinal cord injury can rob a person of his or her independence. This can be especially difficult if the injured person has children or other loved ones who depend on that person for care. It can also create a serious financial impact when the household depends on the income of the person who was injured.

There are many types of spinal cord injuries and each can have its own specific impact:

Quadriplegia
Paraplegia
Herniated disks
Annular tears

Many of these issues are immediate, but they can also be degenerative. An injury can begin a process where the condition of the spine worsens over time. These types of injuries can be deceptive. As the problem may only begin at some later point after an accident has occurred, people may fail to connect their pain and injury with the accident which caused them. Symptoms such as numbness and tingling can increase in severity over time.
