One type of injury that results from traffic accidents is spinal cord injuries. These injuries include minor damage to the spinal chord, paraplegia, quadriplegia, and some neck injuries. 

When a person sustains these injuries, they are typically unable to do many of their daily activities, including the functions required by their job. By not working, that person could lose compensation.

People with spinal cord injuries could also lead to emotional suffering and physical pain, which the injured party could sue for damages. If you or anyone you know has sustained a spinal cord injury in a car accident, contact the Iowa spinal cord lawyers of LaMarca & Landry at 877-327-2600.
