A spinal cord injury is a catastrophic event for both victims and their families. Although some spinal cord injuries are mild, many spinal cord injuries are severe and can lead to permanent nerve damage to the spinal column. These injuries can cause permanent disability, immobility or loss of sensation below the vertebral level at the spinal cord (which is known as paralysis). At Sheff Law, our lawyers believe that victims of spinal cord injuries should receive full and fair compensation for lost wages, past and future medical expenses, and expenses for long term care if necessary. Additionally, the lawyers of Sheff Law are experts in obtaining for our clients the deserved compensation for the pain and suffering and loss of consortium associated with spinal cord injuries.

Our lawyers know that in order to present a strong case, we must first know the common symptoms of a spinal cord injury. Spinal cord injury symptoms generally include:

• Abrupt loss of consciousness
• Brutal back pain or pressure buildup in back, head, or neck
• Extreme weakness, clumsiness, or immobility in any body part
• Numbness in hands, finger, feet, or toes
• Loss of bladder and/ or bowel control
• Inability to establish equilibrium
• Difficulty breathing
• Oddly positioned torso or neck
