Coping With Nerve Damage After an Accident in the City of Marietta, Georgia (Part A)

If you've suffered nerve damage as a result of an accident in the city of Marietta, Georgia, you already know just how much your life can be altered by such an injury. As you're going through the recovery process after your accident, make sure to consult an Atlanta injury law firm about the next steps to take.

Types of Nerve Damage

Peripheral neuropathy, or nerve damage, occurs when the nerves have been compressed, stretched or severed. The most serious type of damage occurs when the nerves and the surrounding insulation has been cut. The result can be severe, causing paralysis to parts of the body.

There are 3 main types of nerves, including:

sensory nerves (control sensations);
motor nerves (control movement); and
autonomic nerves (control involuntary actions).

When damage to any of these nerves occurs, loss of sensation, motor control and paralysis can occur. While surgery and other treatment options might be administered after your accident, nerve damage is currently irreversible.

Nerve Damage Symptoms

The nervous system has vital functions to perform, such as allowing movement and controlling involuntary actions, things many people often take for granted. When nerves have been damaged, the results can be severe and come as a quite a shock.

Your physician will assess your symptoms and help you devise a treatment plan. The symptoms of nerve damage vary, according to the type and severity of the injury.

Symptoms can include:

weakness and numbness;
pain;
tingling and sensitivity;
muscle atrophy;
burning sensations;
bladder and bowel issues; and
full or partial paralysis.

If you've experienced nerve damage in an accident due to another's negligence, you'll want to take your case to an Atlanta injury law firm. They'll be able to help you seek compensation for your injuries that will address your current and future medical needs.
