As we get older, it is common for the spinal cord to start degenerating. As a result, symptoms of that degeneration makes us more sensitive to back pain, and that back pain can be so intense as to interrupt our daily lives and stop us from enjoying our activities.
Unfortunately, another person’s negligence can commonly lead to events that cause serious damage to our spines.
Events such as car accidents, workplace accidents, sports related injuries, boating accidents, among other vehicle related accidents, can all lead to spinal cord injuries.
The brain, which is deeply connected to our spinal cord and nervous system, is just as susceptible.
A traumatic injury to the head can result in brain injury, which is a large cause of disability in the United States.
If you are one of the over million people who suffer from a traumatic brain injury, a brain injury attorney who understand the complexities of insurance law can help you receive the claim you deserve.
Your quality of life should not be threatened by another person’s negligence.
That negligence can not only cause a brain or spinal cord injury, but may also cost the injury victim thousands of dollars in medical bills, but can also threaten their quality of living.
