You may need a Florida spinal cord injury attorney who has experience in these especially complex cases on your side. An attorney with Steinger, Iscoe & Greene would like to help you with your unique case.
Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
There are two forms of spinal cord injury—complete and incomplete. With a complete injury, the victim has no sensation or voluntary motor movement on either side of the body below the level of the injury. If the victim has some feeling or partial movement, the injury is called an incomplete injury.
Injuries are further defined in reference to the area of the spine that is affected. For example, an injury to the spine in the neck area affects the cervical vertebrae, so an injury to the nerves at the fifth cervical vertebra would be called a C-5 injury. Below the neck are the thoracic vertebrae, so injuries there would be defined as T-1, T-2, and so on. Beyond that are the lumbar and sacral vertebrae, and injuries in those areas are named in a similar manner.
