Fresno Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys
Fresno Spinal Cord Injury
When nerve roots surrounding the spine are damaged, an individual can suffer a devastating spinal cord injury. One of the most common causes of spinal cord injuries is blunt trauma to the spine and surrounding area. The majority of blunt trauma spinal cord injuries are attributed to auto accidents, however spinal cord injuries can also be caused by a Fresno motorcycle accident, bicycle accident, construction accident, airline accident, boating accident, SUV rollover accident, UTV accident, pedestrian accident, slip and fall accident, train accident, truck accident and dog bite attack.

The Fresno spinal cord injury lawyers at Estey Bomberger will make sure you receive the compensation needed for a proper recovery and brighter future. More than $100 million dollars has been recovered for clients' medical expenses, care giving services, shortened life expectancy, diminished quality of life, lost wages, lost benefits, and pain and suffering.
Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries are typically categorized as either incomplete or complete. Medical professionals describe an incomplete spinal cord injury as partial loss of feeling and movement at the site of injury and the area below it. Incomplete spinal cord injuries can vary considerably depending on the location and severity of the injury. For example, an incomplete spinal cord injury victim may be able to move one leg better than the other or feel a body part that cannot be moved. Types of incomplete spinal cord injuries include:
- Anterior cord syndrome
- Brown-Sequard syndrome
- Central cord syndrome
- Conus medullaris.
Complete spinal cord injury victims are unable to voluntarily move or feel on both sides of the body below the site of injury. Spinal cord injuries to the cervical (neck) area usually render victims a quadriplegic, or tetraplegic as it is also called. Almost half of all spinal cord injury survivors are considered quadriplegic (a paralysis that can affect both the legs and arms).
