If you’re the victim of a spinal injury, you already know how painful and difficult life can be. You may even suffer serious complications from spinal damage like blood clots, severe back pain, paralysis, or infertility. Most spinal cord injuries result from car accidents, but contact sports, physical violence, and other circumstances can also be a cause.
Victims of spinal cord injuries or damage must understand their legal rights. If your injury was the result of an individual or company’s negligence, take legal action. Nashville victims can receive compensation that will pay for medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses related to the injury.

Real Results for Injury Victims
A Steinger, Greene & Feiner client was returning home from Gatorland Zoo with his family when their vehicle was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer. The driver was operating on a suspended license. As a result of the accident, our client sustained an exacerbation from prior back injuries as well as an injury to his neck. He underwent spinal injections for pain relief, followed by an anterior cervical microdiscectomy (a procedure to reduce neck and back pain), and finally, a revisional surgery for a procedure previously performed on his back. Due to the traumatic injuries to his neck and back caused by the tractor-trailer accident, our client may require additional surgery in the future. Although the defendant’s insurance carrier disputed our client’s injuries and surgery, claiming they were pre-existing, Steinger, Greene & Feiner achieved a total settlement of $1,450,000 to help our client pay for his substantial medical bills.
Steinger, Greene & Feiner also won a total of $2,705,000 for three separate clients who sustained serious cervical injuries resulting from auto accidents:
- $1.9 million was awarded to our client who suffered from herniated cervical disks after an auto accident.
- $330,000 was awarded to our client following an auto accident which led to a two-level cervical fusion procedure (surgery that relieves pain from pressure placed on nerves in the cervical spine, located in the neck).
- $475,000 was awarded to our client who was the victim of a head-on collision. Our client underwent a cervical fusion procedure and may need additional future surgeries.
My case couldn’t have been handled better. It was handled in a timely manner – it wasn’t rushed. If something ever happened again and I needed an attorney, Steinger, Greene & Feiner would be the first place I would go.

How Spinal Cord Injuries Affect the Body
Spinal cord injuries can be complete or incomplete. Complete spinal cord injuries cause permanent damage to the affected area of the spine because those nerves can no longer communicate with the brain. Incomplete injuries cause partial damage to the affected area with some communication still possible between the nerves and the brain.
The ability to recuperate from both types of injuries depends on the individual and their medical history. Always consult your doctor if you believe you have spine damage or a spinal injury.
The following are some emergency signs and symptoms of spinal cord injuries, as reported by the Mayo Clinic. This is not a complete list and you should always consult a medical professional with questions.
- Extreme back pain or pressure in head, neck, or back
- Tingling sensation, numbness, or loss of sensation in the hands, fingers, feet, or toes
- Incoordination, weakness, or paralysis in any part of the body
- Loss of bladder or bowel control
- Difficulty balancing or walking
- Difficulty breathing after an accident
Miscellaneous
The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center reports that the yearly incidence of spinal cord injuries is approximately 17,730. This means there are 17,730 new cases of spinal cord injuries in the United States every year, excluding the cases of people who died at the location of the accident that caused their injury.
