Spinal Cord Injuries

In the United States, about 11,000 individuals per year suffer from spinal cord injuries. Though automobile accidents are the number one cause of spinal cord injuries, sports accidents, falls, disease, violence, and trauma from birth can also lead to the serious back injury. Some sufferers of spinal cord injuries will experience complete (or nearly complete) recovery, but others will face more serious and long-lasting effects: in some cases, permanent paralysis.

At Murphy & Associates, we represent spinal cord injury victims and are dedicated to seeking fair and just compensation for their losses.

Facet Syndrome: A Hidden Spine Injury Often Caused by Car Accidents
Description: Neck pain can be, well, a pain in the neck. What many sufferers of neck pain often come to realize, however, is that neck pain can also be a pain in the back, the shoulders, and other areas of the body. While there are many causes of spinal injuries affecting the neck and back, one cause not often mentioned and not typically appearing in MRIs is facet syndrome. We represent clients who have been injured in car accidents and require treatment for facet syndrome in their necks or backs. If you have been injured in an accident and feel that you may be suffering from this injury, please feel free to call us at 770-577-3020 for free answers to any questions you may have.
What is a Claim for Whiplash Worth?
Description: In auto accidents, whiplash and other neck injuries are common occurrences. Due to the frequency of these injuries, claiming compensation for whiplash after an accident is sometimes viewed negatively, but pursuing compensation for medical bills, lost wages, other expenses, and pain and suffering is often necessary and your legal right. If you have been injured in an auto accident and feel that you may have suffered from whiplash, please feel free to call us at 770-577-3020 for free answers to any questions you may have. There is no obligation.
Broken Neck (Cervical Fracture) Information
Description: More properly referred to as a cervical fracture, a broken neck can be an extremely dangerous injury. In order for vertebrae to become fractured, significant force must be applied to the area, which is why traffic accidents and falls are the most common causes of cervical fractures. Our law firm handles spinal cord injury and neck injury cases. If you have been injured in a car accident or another accident that was not your fault, call us at 770-577-3020 for answers to your important questions. We will gladly consult with you for free regarding your potential case.
Neck and Back Injuries: Herniated Disc
Description: Many sufferers of neck and back pain suffer from a herniated disc (sometimes spelled "disk"). Often referred to as a "slipped disc" or "ruptured disc," the injury can even cause pain in the arms and legs, and some victims of herniated discs require surgery in order to heal completely. Though others may only require minor treatment, the pain caused from a herniated disc can, at times, be extremely difficult to bare. Our law firm handles car accident cases, worker’s compensation cases, and other types of personal injury cases resulting from accidents that led to spinal cord injuries. If you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault, call 770-577-3020 for a free consultation.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Description: In the United States, there are about eleven-thousand (11,000) individuals who suffer from spinal cord injuries every year. Some people can recover and go on with their lives, while other victims may be permanently paralyzed. The spinal cord moves nerve impulses between the brain and the rest of the body. Often the victim of a spinal cord injury is physically and emotionally drained, but his or her personal finances can also be affected because of costly medical care. Some individuals will also experience other problems such as pain, respiratory and heart problems, pressure sores, or spasticity and scoliosis. If you have suffered or are suffering from a spinal cord injury, call us at 770-577-3020 for a free consultation.
Back Pain, Be Gone! Important Information for Back Pain Sufferers
Description: One of the most reported injuries of car accident victims is back pain. Though many causes of back pain exist, any kind of accident involving trauma to the body can severely affect the condition of one’s back. Before, during, and after you experience intense or even moderate levels of back pain, you should follow some important guidelines and steps to ensure that your back becomes as healthy and as strong as possible.
