Harris County Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer / Houston Vehicle Accident Attorney
Although personal injuries are an unfortunate fact of life, these accidents can be compensable where an innocent person is harmed by someone else's negligence or recklessness. If you have suffered a serious spinal cord injury as the result of another person's recklessness or erratic behavior, Texas law says that you have the right to hold that person responsible for the injuries they caused.

Your spinal cord runs approximately 15 to 17 inches from the base of your brain to your waist. It is composed of long nerve fibers that carry messages to and from your brain. It also carries vital fluids throughout your body, including fluids that help you speak, see, and think. The spinal cord can be so fragile that the slightest fall, twist, bump, or other incident could lead to permanent pain, decreased mobility, or even paralysis. Any injury to your spinal cord can be life threatening.
Spinal cord injuries are often caused by motor vehicle accidents, trucking accidents, industrial accidents, and maritime accidents. The Wyly Law Firm, P.C. commonly handles cases having to do with the following spinal cord injuries and conditions:
- Spinal fractures;
- Spinal contusions;
- Herniated discs (resulting in pain radiation, tingling, or numbness);
- Paraplegia (loss of feeling, movement, or sensation from waist down);
- Quadriplegia - (paralysis of all four limbs).
Once damaged, the nerves of the spinal cord usually do not regenerate. A spinal cord accident that results in permanent disability or loss of movement (paralysis) is a life-changing event. Spinal cord injuries can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in hospital bills, loss of job, a reduced quality of life, and severe emotional damage as well. People who suffer from spinal cord injury often need long-term medical care and rehabilitation.
