Spinal cord injuries

The spinal cord transmits neural signals from the brain to the rest of the body.  Its function is undeniably important as the switchboard which regulates neural response.  If a person sustains a spinal cord injury, the results can be wide-ranging – from a partial neural deficit (such as the loss of control over or sensation in one’s fingers or foot) to something as involved as paraplegia (loss of the use of both legs) or full body paralysis (loss of the use of all limbs – legs and arms).  Whatever their extent, spinal cord injuries are serious and necessarily require detailed care in terms of medical management and legal representation.

Due to the debilitating and often permanent nature of spinal cord injuries, it is imperative that an injured party’s needs be met in every facet, from life-care planning to emotional adjustment.  The Dow Firm, P.C. is equipped to assist clients in addressing the issues of liability and damages derivative of a spinal cord injuries.
