About Spinal Cord Injuries
When the nerves, cells, and bone discs found within the spine become damaged as the result of a traumatic event, it is considered a spinal cord injury. When your spinal cord becomes damaged, the nerves that control your body's sense of feeling and mobility become impaired, and may impact your ability to feel or move parts of your body. While any injury to the spinal cord is serious, a victim may experience more severe injuries or side effects depending on the location of the injury. Our Hartford spinal cord injury attorneys have represented countless clients with spinal cord injuries who have suffered from the following:
- Permanent disability
- Quadriplegia

- Paralysis
- Loss of sensations
- Loss or difficulty controlling bodily functions
