Connecticut Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

Spine injuries can be one of the most devastating injuries. The human spine consists of the cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (mid-back), and the lumbar spine (low-back). The spine transmits messages through the entire body. It is the main part of the human body’s central nervous system. Car accidents, motorcycle accidents, as well as many other motor vehicle accidents and fall downs, can cause a person to sustain a permanent injury to their neck or back. The “simplest” whiplash motion can cause great discomfort. This is why it is extremely important that if you suffer a neck injury or back injury, you should seek immediate medical attention. Your doctor may need you to undergo an MRI to determine the extent of your spine injury. At Bert McDowell Injury Law, we have secured outstanding results for our clients that have suffered injuries to their neck and back.

Some spine injuries include months of physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, orthopaedic visits, pain management injections, and sometimes, surgery.
