Ezines lately published an article by Seattle personal injury attorney, Kirk Bernard, which discusses how paralysis may be caused by spinal cord injury. The article begins by stating that the spinal cord is what actually transports and delivers impulses to various parts of the body (while the brain is responsible for producing these impulses). However, when the spinal cord is damaged, catastrophic consequences can result, and this includes paralysis. When such severe injuries are caused by another person’s negligent actions, an injured victim may be able to seek monetary compensation to assist them with years, if not a lifetime, of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and care.

As the main “pathway” for neurological impulses to transfer senses and unconscious functions back and forth between the brain and the rest of the body, the spinal cord is extremely important and sensitive. Spine damage can have a drastic influence on an individual’s life and what can be done to treat these injuries has a lot to do with what caused it. Depending on the degree in which the vertebrae-which helps protect the spinal cord- has been damaged, nerve signal transmission can be hindered, causing different types of paralysis.
