December 16, 2008, (AmericanInjuryNews.com) Dedicated spine injury lawyer in the Texas court system, Shelly Greco, a spine injury attorney reports traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCI) are caused by accidents in the U.S. These injuries have a devastating effect, both emotional and physical. When there is a sudden traumatic injury that crushes, compresses, or fractures your vertebrae, the assault can cut the spinal cord. The damage to the cord affects the nerve fibers in the injured area, and keeps the signals from moving from the brain to the area on the other side of the injury telling that body part to respond. The site of the SCI will determine the body function affected. While physical movement is the most obvious affliction, an injury in the cervical region may also affect breathing.
