Minnesota Personal Injury Lawyers / Attorneys for Spinal Cord Injuries
Our experienced personal injury lawyers can help after a spine injury, myelopathy, neck injury, nerve damage, paralysis, paraplegia, quadriplegia, ruptured disc or herniated disc.
A spinal cord injury changes the life a victim and his or her family. A victim's spine injury or neck injury is usually permanent and is always painful and debilitating. The symptoms and severity of spine injury (sometimes called myelopathy) vary widely from nerve damage to complete paralysis requiring a wheelchair.
Whatever the cause or severity, when a spinal cord injury or myelopathy is caused by someone else's carelessness, the spine injury lawyers at Sieben, Grose, Von Holtum & Carey can protect spinal cord victims rights and help them get the compensation they deserve.
Whatever the cause of your spinal cord injury, you need protection
The personal injury lawyers at Sieben, Grose, Von Holtum & Carey protect the rights of victims after these and other causes of spinal cord injury:
- Child injury
- Driving accidents
- Construction accidents
- Semi truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Other personal injury claims
All spinal cord injuries are painful and debilitating
A spinal cord injury can present itself in so many ways. Paralysis, including paraplegia and quadriplegia, is almost always a permanent disability that may require a victim to use a wheelchair because they are unable to move or feel sensation. Other spine injuries resulting in nerve damage can cause severe pain that is hard to diagnose and treat.
Our experienced personal injury lawyers understand the complexity of spine injuries and neck injuries as well as the wide range of physical, cognitive and emotional symptoms a victim may have. Spine injuries may cause:
- Paralysis—loss of muscle function, loss of mobility or loss of feeling in an affected area.
- Paraplegia—inability to move and/or experience sensation in legs and lower extremities.
- Quadriplegia—(also know as tetraplegia) partial or total loss of use of all of limbs and the torso.
- Myelopathy—a type of spinal cord injury that causes the gradual loss of nerve functions.
- Herniated disc or ruptured disc—when the “shock absorbers” between a spine’s vertebrae get damaged causing them to bulge or break open.
