The location and severity of a spinal cord injury can lead to numerous symptoms, including (but not limited to) shooting pain throughout your whole body, nerve damage and even paralysis. In most cases, a person with a spinal cord injury will require a lifetime of care and additional expenses, including expensive medical bills, alterations to your home to accommodate a wheelchair or other medical devises, as well as loss of employment. Without professional legal advice, you may end up paying for some or all of these expenses.
