A spinal cord injury can turn your life upside down in an instant, often leading to permanent disability, intense physical pain, and significant emotional and financial challenges.

If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury due to someone else’s negligence, our experienced attorney is here to stand by your side and advocate for your rights.
The Complex Nature of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries involve damage to the spine that disrupts communication between the brain and the body, affecting movement, sensation, and even basic bodily functions. These injuries range in severity from partial loss of function to complete paralysis. No matter the extent of the injury, our skilled legal team understands the profound impact a spinal cord injury can have and will work tirelessly to secure compensation that addresses the full scope of your needs.
Recognizing the Symptoms of a Spinal Cord Injury
The effects of a spinal cord injury can vary significantly, depending on the severity and location of the injury. Here are some common symptoms that may appear immediately after the injury or develop over time:
- Loss of Mobility: Reduced movement in the arms, legs, or other areas below the injury site is common and can range from muscle weakness to complete paralysis.
- Loss of Sensation: You may experience numbness, tingling, or an inability to feel pain, temperature, or touch below the level of the injury.
- Breathing Difficulties: Damage to the cervical spine (in the neck) can impair respiratory function, sometimes requiring ventilator support.
- Loss of Bladder or Bowel Control: Injuries that impact nerve function may lead to partial or complete incontinence.
- Chronic Pain: Nerve damage, muscle spasms, or altered posture can result in ongoing pain at the injury site or throughout the body.
- Muscle Spasms (Spasticity): Uncontrollable muscle contractions or tightness can make movement and daily activities more challenging.
- Autonomic Dysreflexia: This is a serious condition that causes a sudden spike in blood pressure, severe headaches, and sweating, typically in those with injuries above the mid-thoracic spine.
If you or someone you know experiences any of these symptoms after an injury, it’s essential to seek medical care as soon as possible. Once stabilized, reach out to an experienced spinal cord injury attorney to explore your legal options for compensation and support.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries can result from various incidents, including:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: High-impact collisions often lead to spinal trauma, especially in car, truck, and motorcycle accidents.
- Falls: Slips, trips, and falls from significant heights can cause severe spinal injuries.
- Sports and Recreation: Contact sports, diving, and other high-impact activities pose risks to the spine.
- Acts of Violence: Gunshot wounds and other violent acts can cause direct harm to the spinal cord.
- Medical Malpractice: Errors during surgery or treatment can sometimes result in spinal cord damage.

At Banck Law, we are committed to helping you recover comprehensive compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: This includes past and future medical costs, surgeries, rehabilitation, adaptive equipment, and any ongoing healthcare needs.
- Lost Wages and Future Income: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, we will pursue compensation for lost earnings and any future income you may miss out on.
- Pain and Suffering: Spinal cord injuries can lead to lasting pain and emotional distress. We will seek damages for the physical and mental toll of your injuries.
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Compensation for any limitations your injury has imposed on your ability to engage in hobbies, sports, and time with loved ones.
