It is estimated that each year 11,000 people suffer from debilitating spinal cord injuries, some of which occur as the result of work-related accidents. For some people the effects of a spinal cord injury may be permanent, and for others, it may not. It is not typical for a spinal cord injury victim to return to the function level that he or she had prior to the injury. After suffering a spinal cord injury, the victim may experience loss of feeling in one or more limbs, which may be a sign of paralysis. Spinal cord injury side effects differ for every victim, depending upon where on the spinal cord the victim was injured and how severe the injury was. Some of the side effects of a spine injury may include:

• Bowel dysfunction
• Changes in blood pressure
• Difficulty breathing
• Physical pain
• Pressure sores due to immobility
• Problems sweating
• Sensory impairment
• Sexual dysfunction

At Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro we understand how devastating a spinal cord injury can be to the victim as well as his or her family. Along with the emotional effects that a spinal cord injury has on the victim and victim’s family members, the expense involved in treating and maintaining a spinal cord injury can be enormous. Many spinal cord injury victims may have to undergo multiple surgeries, purchase mobility devices, and visit medical specialists. Our dedicated spinal cord injury lawyers and support staff will work diligently to hold the negligent party responsible for your injuries, while focusing on recovering monetary compensation for your spinal cord injury.
