Spine Injuries

Accidents caused by negligent drivers can cause severe injuries to the spine, including nerve damage, partial paralysis, total paralysis, paraplegia or tetraplegia. At the Law Offices of Bill T. Kuziara, we work with injured clients throughout California to help them make decisions relating to both medical treatment and legal issues involved with serious spine injuries.

We work also with victims and their families to determine the need for medical evaluation of elements of their physical symptoms as well as emotional trauma that often accompany spinal cord injuries, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), phobias or other anxiety-related psychological disorders. Our clients and their families often must deal with permanent disabilities that lead to a lifetime of medical and legal issues. Without a doubt, the effects of a spine injury can be life altering.

Injuries to the spine are most commonly caused by motor vehicle accidents, although other any type of accident may cause injury to the nerves within the spinal cord. The nerve fibers in the spinal cord are responsible for the body's ability to feel, move and perform vital functions. Loss of function following a spine injury depends on the location and seriousness of the impact on the spinal column.

With any serious spinal cord injury, it is important to consult an experienced injury attorney to seek all sources of liability and compensation. Please call us at (707) 546-1040 for guidance in this complex area of injury.
