Spinal Cord Injuries

Malone Law's advocacy for sufferers of Spinal Cord Injuries is not limited to their legal representation, but includes a commitment to education and assistance for brain injury victims and their families.

In addition to obtaining just compensation for those who suffer spinal cord injuries caused by the wrongdoing of others, Tommy and Adam Malone ensure that their clients benefit from a substantial support network by involving providers such as neuropsychologists, neurologists and lifecare planners to assist them in maximizing their recovery efforts.

The Centers for Disease Control and National Center for Injury Prevention and Control publish that nearly 200,000 people in the U.S. live with a disability related to a spinal cord injury (SCI), and that approximately 11,000 Americans sustain an SCI each year . Automobile crashes are teh leading cause of SCI among people under the age of 65, while sports and recreation activities cause an estimated 18% of SCI cases, while more than half of the people who sustain SCIs are 15 to 29 years old.

Secondary conditions are a major health issue for people living with SCI. Secondary conditions are negative health outcomes that occur as a direct result of a SCI-related disability. The most common secondary conditions are pressure sores, respiratory complications, urinary tract infections, spasticity, and scoliosis.
