What a Spinal Cord Injury Claim Covers and Who It Is For<\/h2>\n

A spinal cord injury claim seeks compensation for losses caused by an injury to the spinal cord. The spinal cord carries signals between the brain and the body. It sits inside three layers of protective tissue, and cerebrospinal fluid cushions it against shock, according to the NINDS spinal cord injury overview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Doctors describe these injuries by where they happen and by how complete they are. NINDS describes complete and incomplete injuries, along with paralysis and treatment. Nerves in the neck, chest, lower back and pelvis control different parts of the body, so the location of an injury matters.<\/p>\n

This page is written for the injured person. It also helps a spouse, a parent or an adult child who is making decisions or managing paperwork for a loved one.<\/p>\n
