Spine Injury

Spine Injury Lawyers in Columbia, Missouri

People who have never suffered a spine injury often underestimate the severity of these injuries and the level of pain that can accompany them. Because the spinal cord is responsible for the communication between our body and brain, an injury to the spinal cord can result in a host of serious consequences. Spinal cord injuries require immediate and often intensive medical attention. If you or a loved one has been in an accident that caused a spinal cord injury, recovery should be your sole focus.

If your injury was the result of another person's negligence, you are entitled to compensation. Obtaining assistance from an experienced lawyer allows your attention to remain where it belongs — focused on your healing. When pursuing a claim for this type of catastrophic personal injury, your lawyer must take great care to secure compensation that fully addresses what you have already suffered and to cover all future expenses.

At Harper, Evans, Wade & Netemeyer, our spine injury attorneys in Columbia, MO have more than 100 years of combined experience obtaining the compensation to which our clients are entitled.

We Understand Spinal Cord Injury Claims

Spinal cord injuries usually start when some kind of extreme physical impact dislocates or fractures one or more vertebrae, and pieces of the damaged vertebrae tear or compress the spinal cord. Spinal cord injuries are categorized as complete or incomplete, but even within each of these categories, the details of the damage can vary widely.

In the most severe cases — known as a complete spinal cord injury — paralysis occurs below the injury location where communication with the brain is no longer possible. With an incomplete injury, the spinal cord can still relay messages between the body and brain. Injuries such as herniated or slipped disks are more common than paralysis. No spinal cord injury should be considered minor; multiple surgeries may be required, and pain sometimes persists even after all surgical and other immediate medical options have been exhausted.
