Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers

The spinal cord is made up of tiny, delicate nerve cells, and is only 18 inches long. A spinal cord injury (SCI) can be a traumatic and devastating experience, and may result in a lifetime of pain, suffering and expensive medical costs. At the Law Offices of Nadrich & Cohen, LLP, our spinal cord injury attorneys know how devastating these injuries can be. We have more than 25 years of experience in helping spinal cord injury victims put their lives back together, and are available to discuss your case with you.

Although Nadrich & Cohen's offices are located in California, the firm is engaged in litigation throughout the country.

A spinal cord injury usually involves some sort of trauma to the nerve cells that form the spinal cord. As the spinal cord carries messages from the brain to different parts of the body to control functions such as movement, breathing, and speaking, an injury to the spinal cord disrupts this communication, leading to the impairment of the body's sensory, motor and involuntary reflex functions. These disruptions can lead to two devastating conditions: paraplegia, which is paralysis of the lower portions of the body, or quadriplegia, which is paralysis of the upper and lower parts of the body, depending upon the nature and extent of the SCI.

Motor vehicle collisions, acts of violence, sports-related injuries, slip and falls, and other incidents that cause injury or compression to the nerve cells of the spinal cord are the main causes of spinal cord injuries. Approximately 250,000 Americans currently suffer form some form of SCI, and there are about 11,000 new cases every year in the U.S.

More than 50% of all spinal cord injuries result in quadriplegia, which typically requires an average hospital stay of 95 days and costs approximately $120,000 in medical expenses. The total monetary expense related to an SCI depends upon many factors, including the age of the victim at the time of the accident. For an individual who sustains an SCI at the age of 25, the average lifetime medical cost for quadriplegia will be $1.35 million. These figures only represent medical costs, and do not take into account the physical and emotional pain and suffering of the victims, the loss of wages, and the financial and emotional burdens that SCI places on the victims' family members.
