Spinal Cord Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents

The thrill of riding a motorcycle is the feeling of invulnerability and control – but bikers are not always in control of their safety.

What is a Spinal Cord Injury?

Any damage to the nerve clusters within the spinal cord may result in serious physical injuries, including paralysis. The spinal cord may be injured in a motorcycle accident when the rider is thrown from their bike or hit by another vehicle.

An injury to the spinal cord can affect its ability to send messages to and from the brain, which controls sensory, motor, and involuntary functions. The effect on the body depends on the location and severity of the spinal cord injury.

Types of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries are not only complex medical cases, they are also complex legal cases. Our Law Firm can help you to:

• Complete: Nerve damage obstructs all signals coming from the brain to the body parts below the injury site.
• Incomplete: Nerve damage only affects some of those signals. The closer the injury is to the brain, the greater the loss of feeling and function.
