A spinal cord injury can permanently alter every aspect of your life. Whether caused by a car accident, workplace incident, fall, or act of violence, spinal cord injuries often result in partial or complete paralysis, chronic pain, and the need for lifelong medical care. Wolterman Law Office represents spinal cord injury victims throughout Southwest Ohio, fighting for the substantial compensation these catastrophic cases require.
Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries are classified as complete or incomplete. Complete injuries result in total loss of function below the injury site. Incomplete injuries allow for some function to remain. Common injury types include cervical injuries affecting the neck and upper body, thoracic injuries affecting the chest and trunk, and lumbar injuries affecting the lower body.
