The impact of a spinal cord injury on the future lifestyle of the injured person will depend in part on the location of the injury. Vertebrae include cervical (upper) vertebrae and lumbar (lower) vertebrae. Injury to the cervical vertebra may result in quadriplegia and accompanying loss of bodily functions ranging from breathing to hand and wrist function. Injury to the lumbar vertebra may result in paraplegia, including loss of function in hips and legs.

A Prompt, Thorough Investigation Is Key to a Good Recovery
The earlier the investigation into the accident, the more informative the investigation into the causes can be. Did the motorcycle accident occur because another motorist was using a cell phone and not watching out for traffic? Did a slip-and-fall accident happen because of a merchant's negligence by not securing merchandise properly? Did a boat or train accident happen because of technical error — and if so, who fell down on the job in maintenance and repair?
