San Francisco, California, Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer
California Spine Injuries Lawyer
The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that extends from the base of the brain to the lower back/pelvis. The brain and spinal cord together constitute the central nervous system, which controls the messages your nerves send to all other parts of your body to manage your voluntary (muscle movement) and involuntary (temperature regulation and blood pressure) functions.

Learn More About Spinal Cord Injury
The effects of spinal cord injuries are usually found in limitations or complete loss of function, mobility and sensation. The spinal cord does not have to be severed for a loss of function to occur. Severe, chronic pain is the typical result of injuries to discs.
The location of the injury will determine how the person is affected:
The most severe spinal cord injuries cause paraplegia (paralysis below the waist), quadriplegia (paralysis below the neck), or hemiplegia (one side or the other).
The long-term medical implications of a back or spinal cord injury can be costly, placing a tremendous financial burden on the injured person and his or her family. This is why it is so critical that any settlement offer take into consideration future costs as well as current medical care needs.
