Union City Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

The spinal cord is the central junction for all nerve signals going through the body. Any damage to this delicate cord has terrible consequences for the body. Spinal cord injuries rarely heal properly and can be fatal. They are among the worst kinds of injuries to receive.

If you’ve experienced a spinal cord injury that wasn’t your fault, fight back. Our spinal cord injury attorneys in Union City, NJ, will work hard on your behalf to make the responsible party pay the true costs of your injury, no matter how big the company.

The True Costs of a Spinal Cord Injury

We all know that paralysis happens when the spinal cord is severed. There is a complete loss of sensation and mobility controlled by all parts of the spinal cord below the cut. What you may not know is the effects this causes later in life and the effects of a partial spinal cord injury.

With the loss of sensation comes the loss of pain and pleasure. Pain is the body’s signal to tell us to move. When this signal is absent, we can ignore broken bones, pressure ulcers, and similar diseases. This can be fatal.

Losing pleasure can also devastate, especially for married couples. People with paralysis often lose the ability to have intercourse and have trouble controlling their bathroom functions. Your spouse will suddenly become a caretaker after this kind of injury.

Partial Spinal Cord Injuries

Partial spinal cord injuries, called “incomplete” in medical terms, can cause a broad range of painful effects. Depending on where the injury happens, different parts of the body can receive too much or too little electricity. This can cause issues like:

• Difficult breathing
• Sudden muscle weakness or spasm
• Exaggerated reflexes
• Pain and tingling
• Numbness
• Blood pressure issues
• Issues with bladder and bowels

A medical professional can examine where the injury happened and tell you which functions will be impaired. This is important to know for your injury case. Justice will only be served if you’re adequately compensated for all your damages, and the damages in spinal cord injuries are extensive.

The insurance company will try to find any way they can to pay you less. Morelli Law is here to make them pay what you’re owed, whether through a settlement or by arguing at trial. Our Union City spinal cord injury attorneys get results.
