Dublin Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

At Oliver Law Office, our Dublin Ohio personal injury lawyers realize that any damage to a person’s spinal cord can be catastrophic, even resulting in paralysis. Almost any type of serious accident can result in a spinal cord injury, particularly falls and motor vehicle collisions. Given the severity of most spinal cord injuries, patients can require life-long care that can be extremely costly.
Beyond the economic consequences of a spinal cord injury, most patients must learn to live with permanent disabilities and the reality of a life-altering injury. When another person’s negligence is to blame for a spinal cord injury, it is critical to talk with an attorney about filing a claim.

Oliver, has been voted 2024 Lawyer of the Year in Dublin, Ohio, for Product Liability and named to the Best Lawyers 2024 list in multiple practice areas.

What are The Most Common Signs of Spinal Injuries After an Ohio Accident

After an accident in Ohio, signs of spinal injuries can vary depending on the severity and location of the injury.
In some cases, there are specific emergency signs of a spinal cord injury that require immediate assessment by a healthcare provider following an accident. The most apparent sign of spinal cord damage is difficulty moving limbs, including hands, feet, arms, and legs.
However, according to the Mayo Clinic, spinal cord injuries — including those that result in paralysis — may not produce immediately apparent symptoms. Whenever there is a possibility that a person may have suffered a spinal cord injury, it is critical to be treated as soon as possible.
The following are signs that you need emergency care, according to the Mayo Clinic:
  • Pain or pressure in the neck, head, or back.
  • Weakness in any part of your body or any sign of partial paralysis.
  • Any numbness or tingling in your hands or toes.
  • Loss of bladder control or bowel control.
  • Balancing or walking problems.
  • Twisted neck or back.

Our Ohio accident and spinal cord injury attorneys and legal support team have successfully represented clients for nearly 30 years. We have intimate knowledge of Ohio’s personal injury laws and how to obtain maximum compensation from all insurance coverages and policies for each client’s unique recovery needs.

Understanding The Long-term Impact of Spinal Cord Injuries & Paralysis

Our Dublin spinal cord injury attorneys at Oliver Law Office represent clients who have suffered varying degrees of catastrophic injuries over the past few decades and understand that they impact each injury victim and their family differently.
Spinal cord injuries rarely heal fully, which means our clients’ lives are changed by their accidents indefinitely. This is especially true for those whose spine injuries are paralyzing.
The Mayo Clinic defines a spinal cord injury as “damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal” that “often causes permanent changes in strength, sensation, and other body functions below the site of the injury.”
Depending upon whether a spinal cord injury results in the loss of all feeling or just some feeling, these injuries are classified as either “complete” (meaning a person has lost all feeling in an area) or “incomplete” (meaning that a person still has some sensory function).
When spinal cord injuries result in paralysis, those forms of paralysis are known as:
  • Tetraplegia – also known as quadriplegia. This means that your arms, hands, trunk, legs, and pelvic organs are all affected by your spinal cord injury.
  • Paraplegia – this paralysis affects all or part of the trunk, legs, and pelvic organs but not the arms.
At Oliver Law Office, our personal injury lawyers in Dublin know the importance of medical diagnosis and what it means to our client’s ability to get the care they need.
We also know spinal cord injuries and resulting paralysis can have profound and long-lasting effects on various aspects of their lives, including their physical, psychological, social, and economic well-being.
Some of the long-term impacts of spinal cord injuries and paralysis may include, but are not limited to:
  • The loss of motor function resulting in mobility limitations, muscle atrophy, loss of sensation, chronic pain, spasticity, and impaired bladder and bowel control. It may include secondary health complications, like pressure ulcers, urinary tract infections, respiratory problems, deep vein thrombosis, and muscle contractures.
  • Adjusting to life with a spinal cord injury often involves learning new ways to perform daily activities and tasks. Rehabilitation programs focus on enhancing functional independence through mobility aids, assistive devices, and techniques for adaptive living.
  • Coping with the physical limitations and lifestyle changes associated with paralysis may require psychological support, counseling, and adjustment to a new sense of identity and self-esteem.
  • Social isolation, stigma, discrimination, and difficulty participating in recreational and social activities.
  • When possible, returning to work may require vocational rehabilitation, job retraining, or accommodations to accommodate physical limitations.
Despite the challenges associated with spinal cord injuries and paralysis, we believe in our client’s ability to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. This is where we come in. Our skilled spinal cord injury attorneys in Dublin pursue the liable parties who have caused our client’s injuries to ensure they have access to the medical care, rehabilitation services, and financial resources necessary to move forward confidently. Contact us today to learn more.
