If you think you may have suffered a major or minor spinal injury, it is very important that you immediately obtain proper medical treatment and consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer to protect your rights to personal injury compensation.

A spinal cord injury can result from a ruptured disc in your spine, or instability between segments of your spine that threatens to allow a spinal cord to be twisted or torn. An actual spinal cord injury, whether resulting from a disc injury, abnormal twisting or bending of the spine or fracture of the bones surrounding the spinal cord is a life-threatening condition and should be treated immediately at the nearest trauma center.

Below are some symptoms of spinal cord injury or irritation that sometimes occur:

• Pain in the spine or extremities

• Numbness or tingling
• Inability to move body parts
• Difficulty voiding bladder or bowels
