How A Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer Can Help

Unlike other types of injuries that can remain localized, spinal cord injuries can lead to nerve damage and other symptoms related to loss of function, feeling, and movement in other parts of your body. This is why it’s urgent you see a medical professional as soon as it’s suspected you may have sustained a spinal cord injury.

A key component in your case will be detailed medical records. Our Bel Air spinal cord injury lawyer will need these to analyze the facts and cause of your injury to pinpoint whether another person or company may be considered at fault. We understand the long-term implications of these types of injuries and want to assure that you are reimbursed for all doctor visits and treatments.

Common Symptoms Of A Spinal Cord Injury

It is possible you overlook a spinal cord injury if initial symptoms aren’t present. This can be problematic as future symptoms can still end up being serious or life-threatening. The following symptoms are all considered life-threatening and should be treated as emergencies:

  • Paraplegia. This is a type of paralysis that does not extend to the arms, but does lead to loss of function and feeling in the trunk, legs, and pelvic organs.
  • Quadriplegia. Your trunk, legs, arms, and pelvic organs will all experience paralysis in these cases.
  • Loss Of Function. This may range from the inability to use the bathroom on your own to differences in your fertility or sexual function.
  • Difficulty Breathing. If you experience coughing or noticeable labored breathing, this is a life-threatening symptom and should be evaluated by a medical professional promptly.
  • Altered Sensations. Not responding to heat, cold, or touch can be an alarming symptom to experience. It may also show up as pain or a severe stinging sensation. Any of these shifts in feeling should be taken seriously and reported to a medical professional.

Irreversible damage can happen fast following a spinal cord injury. That’s why it’s of the utmost importance that you get in touch with our Bel Air spinal cord injury lawyer as soon as possible to get started on your case. We offer a free case evaluation so that you can be sure that you have a sound case before dedicating time and energy to it.

New Breakthrough in Spinal Cord Injury Research and Patient Safety

We at KBD Attorneys have just published a new blog exploring a groundbreaking spinal implant developed by researchers in Australia and New Zealand that restored movement and sensation in rats with spinal cord injuries. While the device offers new hope for millions living with paralysis, it also emphasizes the critical need for safety, transparency, and legal oversight as medical technologies move from the lab to clinical use.

This blog is part of our broader commitment to tracking innovative medical developments while protecting patients from device risks, complications, or negligence. As legal advocates, we are watching this field closely—ensuring that life-changing treatments don’t come at the cost of patient rights or safety.
