Mooresville Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys
A spinal cord injury can result in partial to total disability, including paralysis (quadriplegia or paraplegia) that requires wheel chair use for life. It is not uncommon for a spinal cord injury victim to be out of work for six months or longer — or even permanently. Long-term results vary from devastating, permanent loss of ambulatory function to full recovery.
Regardless of the circumstances of your spinal cord injury — car accident, workplace accident or premises accident — discuss your losses and long-term needs with an experienced personal injury lawyer. Contact us to schedule a consultation regarding a spinal cord injury such as:
- Lumbar (lower back) injury
- Bulging or herniated disk
- Pressure fracture to the back
