Spinal Cord Injury Attorney in Houston

There are a number of causes of SCIs, with some of the most common including:

• Motor vehicle accidents: According to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries in younger adults.
• Workplace accidents: Some workplaces pose higher risks of spinal cord injuries, such as construction sites and other jobs where workers can get injured by falling from heights.
• Medical malpractice: While less common, medical malpractice such as poor emergency room care, improper diagnostic procedures, or incorrect anesthesia administration can result in SCIs.

While total paralysis is one of the worst results of a spinal cord injury, other outcomes can be severely debilitating. SCIs commonly cause mobility issues, numbness, pain during movement, and body weakness from conditions such as:

• Spinal stenosis
• Lumbar spinal cord injuries
• Spondylolisthesis / spondylosis
• Thoracic spinal cord injuries
• Lumbar spinal cord injuries
• Ruptured and herniated discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Paralysis
• Paraplegia
• Quadriplegia

A spinal injury can disrupt your life and lead to years of extensive medical care and large pharmaceutical bills. However, if you can prove your injuries were the result of negligence or a defective product, you may be able to recover damages including:

• Current and future medical costs
• Lost wages
• Lost earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Medical equipment
