Testimonials

I don’t have any medical bills, I’m receiving revenue for my pain and suffering, and I’m very appreciative. I am truly satisfied with the results of my case.
"The best part about having James Murphy as my workers' compensationlawyer is that I have someone to speak for me..."
The initial phone call made me feel as though they really cared. They made us feel like a number, and Murphy & Associates didn't. My wife and I have never gone through something like this before and accidents can be devastating to a family because of loss of income, pain and suffering.
Murphy & Associates made my experience fast and easy, and got the job done.
Murphy & Associates Car Accident Law firm is professional, efficient, and a pleasant experience doing business with.
I was involved in a rear-end collision while stopped at a red light. Mr. Murphy and his staff guided me through this long process from obtaining medical treatment to settling with the other party's insurance company.

Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injury is one of the most painful injuries one can endure. Along with this type of injury can come some form of paralysis. Other effects of injury to the spinal cord include autonomic dysreflexia and muscle spasms. Understanding these injuries and the effect they have on the human body is a complicated study.

There are different types of spinal cord injuries. For example, an injury to the cervical spine or neck in the C1-C8 area can cause weakness or paralysis to both the arms and legs. Those who become paralyzed due to this injury are often known as quadriplegic. Lumbar spinal cord or low back injuries effect the legs and can cause weakness or paralysis depending on the severity accompanying this injury. Individuals with this type of injury and paralysis are known as paraplegic. There may be an injury to the middle back or the thoracic spine as well. This can lead to weakness or a loss of sensation to the bladder or bowels along with sexual dysfunction.

Spinal cord injuries are often life altering. Care should be given to treat the physical injury as well as the long term emotional issues. In light of horrific spinal cord injuries, the human spirit can be resilient and we have seen individuals overcome great adversity from serious spinal cord injuries.
