Spinal cord injuries throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey are among the most common, and serious, injuries that can arise from a motor vehicle accident or a serious fall. Spinal cord injuries result from trauma to the spinal cord, which houses most of the nerves that transmit signals to and from the brain. Accordingly, when there is trauma to the spinal cord, as occurs in a car accident, a serious sports injury, a construction site accidents or from a fall, the result can be partial or total paralysis.
