Spinal cord injuries occur when a traumatic event causes damage to the spinal cord, affecting nerve messages throughout the body. Stark & Stark's spinal cord injury lawyers have years of experience representing those who have suffered various types of spinal cord injuries, including:

• contusions
• the bruising of the spinal cord
• compressions (caused by pressure to the spinal cord)
• lacerations
• tearing of nerve fibers
• complete and incomplete severance of the spinal cord

Stark & Stark's spinal cord injury attorneys work as a team with skilled professionals who know how to interact with individuals who are paralyzed, who have lost control of voluntary movements, who have suffered a loss or slowing of reflexes, including problems in breathing and control of bowel and bladder functions, and sexual dysfunction.

The leading causes of spinal cord injuries are vehicular accidents, workplace accidents, diving accidents, electric shocks, bullet and stab wounds, falls and sports injuries. Only 40% of the people who suffer paraplegia are able to return to work, and only 30% of quadriplegia victims resume normal duties. Stark & Stark's spinal cord injury lawyers know how to advocate for people who have traumatic pain and suffering and have financial problems due to a spinal cord injury.
