SPINAL INJURIES OVERVIEW
Spinal injuries consist of damage to or a severing of the spinal cord. The area of the body at and below the injury site will suffer serious consequences, depending on the severity of the damage. These injuries are generally caused by a blow to the spine that disrupts the pathways between the brain and the body.
Spinal injuries can result in a loss of sensory and motor functions below the point of the injury, causing severe physical, emotional, and financial challenges for those affected by it. The effects of a spinal injury can be temporary or permanent, such as in cases of irreversible paralysis.
Spinal injuries can cause such symptoms as:
- Weakness or paralysis in the arms, legs, trunk, feet, or hands
- Loss of sensation or numbness in the body
- Pain or discomfort in the back, neck, shoulders, or head
- Difficulty breathing, swallowing, speaking, or carrying out basic movements
- Muscle spasms or involuntary muscle contractions
- Loss of coordination and balance and difficulty walking
- Loss of bowel and bladder control
- Loss of sexual function
These injuries are commonly classified into two categories: 1. Incomplete and 2. Complete. Incomplete injuries are those in which some nerve communication remains between the brain and the body. This allows some type of sensation and bodily function to continue. Complete injuries result in the loss of all nerve communication between the brain and the injury site which leads to a total loss of sensation and motor control below the site.

THE IMPACT OF SPINAL INJURIES ON INDIVIDUALS & FAMILIES
A spinal injury can be devastating for accident victims and their families. Not only will you have to deal with life-altering physical disabilities that may be permanent but coping with the emotional trauma accompanying such an injury can be difficult. This can lead to anxiety, depression, and other negative mental states.
Families impacted by the spinal injury of a loved one often must adjust to a new way of life that includes having to manage daily care for the injury victim. These changes can place a strain on everyone involved. Furthermore, the financial costs of medical care, therapies, equipment, and loss of earning capacity for both victims and family caretakers can be enormous.
At Arshakyan Law Firm, we fight aggressively for spinal injury victims with claims seeking justice through compensatory damages. While nothing can truly compensate you and your family for all that you may have endured, financial recovery is essential for the entirety of your expenses and damages as well as resources to sustain you in the future.
CAUSES OF SPINAL INJURIES
The most frequent causes of spinal cord injuries include motor vehicle collisions, falls from a height, sports injuries, medical conditions or diseases, gunshot wounds, and other accidents. The NSCISC (National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center) has reported that traffic crashes are the most common cause of spinal injuries.
Our team will fight for the maximum amount through skilled negotiations with the other party and/or his or her insurer or tenacious litigation in court. We have a strong track record of positive case results in handling claims of all types for clients throughout the counties of Los Angeles, Riverside, and Ventura.
