Together, the brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system.  Any sudden, forceful blow to or jarring of the head can result in traumatic brain injuries.  Likewise, a sudden impact to the neck or back can result in spinal cord injuries.  Statistics suggest that vehicular accidents are the leading cause of these types of injuries, but they can also occur in construction accidents, seemingly minor falls and other ways.  Tracts in the spinal cord carry all types of signals between the brain and the rest of one’s body, so an injury to the brain, spinal cord or both can cause severe, devastating and often permanent effects, including paraplegia and quadriplegia.  This means that brain and spinal cord injuries often create the need for substantial, long-term medical treatment and assistance with functions of daily living.  If you or a loved one has sustained a brain or spinal cord injury and believe that someone else is to blame, GWC’s attorneys stand ready to help.
