Complete and Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries

Depending on the nature of a person’s injury, a spinal cord injury may be what’s called either “complete” or “incomplete.”  If the injury is “complete,” the injured person will have no sensation or movement below the location of the injury. Paraplegia and quadriplegia are considered complete spinal cord injuries.  A complete spinal cord injury will cause paraplegia or quadriplegia, depending on the location of the injury on the spinal cord. A person with an incomplete spinal cord injury will have some feeling and possibly movement below the location of the injury, but it may be very limited. All spinal cord injuries are very serious and require immediate medical treatment.  An experienced West Virginia spinal cord injury lawyer can help you recover physically, emotionally and financially.
