At Pacific Attorney Group, we believe our Orange County clients are better informed when we provide them with the facts about the spinal cord and spinal cord injuries.
The spinal cord is central to the body’s nervous system, and is about 18 inches long. It extends from the base of the brain to just above the waist. There are spinal nerves all along the cord that reach and communicate with other parts of the body.
A spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs where there is some form of trauma to the vertebral column that affects the brain’s ability to send and receive messages that control sensory, motor and autonomic function.
Each year, there are about 10,000 new cases of Spinal Cord Injuries in the United States, according to the National Spinal Cord Injury Association. As with brain injury, males account for the majority of injuries.
The leading causes of Spinal Cord Injuries:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Violence
- Falls
- Sports injuries
Signs and symptoms of a spinal cord injury include:
- Extreme pain or pressure in the neck, head or back
- Tingling or loss of sensation in the hand, fingers, feet, or toes
- Partial or complete loss of control over any part of the body
- Impaired breathing after injury
- Unusual bumps on the head or spine

If the spinal cord or brain injury was caused by the recklessness or negligence of another party, you have the right to seek compensation in the form of damages as part of a personal injury lawsuit.
Because each spinal cord injury case is different, it can be difficult to determine exactly how much compensation may be your right to receive. However, our Pacific Attorney Group lawyers understand that the financial needs can be extraordinary – and that’s the type of compensation we focus on.
