2 types of spinal cord injuries

1. Incomplete. Over 60% of all injuries to the spinal cord are considered incomplete. With this type of injury, some nerve signals can still be sent along the spinal cord to the brain and you may still have some movement and sensation.

2. Complete. Complete spinal cord injuries are less common, but more severe. If you have a complete injury, the nerves below the point of injury cannot communicate at all with the brain anymore, causing paralysis below the location of the injury. 

At Pickett Dummigan Weingart, our attorneys represent clients suffering from both incomplete and complete spinal injuries. No matter the severity of your injury, we want to help.
