The Law Offices of Cohn, Smith & Cohn, P.A. is a Florida law firm that represents individuals from the Fort Lauderdale area who have suffered a spinal cord injury.

Many types of accidents can injure the spinal cord.  While car accidents and slip-and-falls are the more common causes of spinal cord injuries, diving accidents, gun and knife wounds, and electrocution can all damage the spinal cord.

The severity of a spinal cord injury depends on whether the spinal cord was lacerated, compressed or bruised, as well as the location of the injury.  Injuries higher up on the spinal cord can paralyze more parts of the body.  Paralysis affects not only mobility and voluntary motion, but also autonomic functions such as bladder and bowel control, as well as breathing. People with spinal cord injuries are more likely to develop secondary medical issues, such as bedsores and bladder infections.
