“Spinal cord injuries” are not limited to paraplegia and quadriplegia. Much more common are disk injuries in the spine that interfere with the spinal cord but do not result in paralysis. Such injuries are very common following motor vehicle collisions. Left untreated, they can worsen over time and can make the victim susceptible to paralysis in the event of another trauma. Stated simply, there is no such thing as a “routine” spinal cord injury. Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith has the ability, reputation, resources, and compassion to properly handle all types of spinal cord injury cases.
