Our experienced attorneys know that a spinal cord injury can be an extremely serious and life-changing injury. Damage to your spinal cord can result in the loss of muscle control and feeling below the area of injury. Spinal cord injury victims can become quadriplegic or paraplegic as a result of their injuries.
When you suffer a spinal cord injury due to the negligent actions of others, the parties who caused your injuries must compensate you for the harm they have caused. While they cannot give you back the physical abilities or control you might have lost due to the accident, they are required to pay for medical bills and costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and emotional distress that result from your spinal cord damage. An experienced spinal cord injury attorney in Colorado Springs can help you with your case so you can receive the money you need to live life with your serious injuries.

Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries can occur for many different reasons, including slip and falls, medical malpractice and car accidents. The location of the injury and the extent of the damage you suffered will determine the impact of the injury on your health and life. Injury victims may suffer complete spinal cord damage or experience partial damage and develop conditions such as:
- Anterior cord syndrome, which affects the motor and sensory paths in the anterior spine. Most sensation and muscle control is lost if you have anterior spinal cord syndrome.
- Central cord syndrome, which affects the lower part of the spine near the cervix and which can cause partial paralysis, weakness and partial loss of sensation.
- Brown Sequard syndrome, which causes damage to the left or the right of the spine as well as loss of sensation and muscle control on the opposite side of the body from where the damage occurred.
For those who experience these or other injuries to the spine, the costs of medical treatment and adaptive devices can be staggering. For example, the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center estimates the cost of spinal cord injuries at between $1,517,806 and $4,543,182 for someone injured at age 25.
