Charleston Brain and Spinal Damage Lawyers

Every year in South Carolina, a small but significant portion of the population must deal with the kind of troubling news that no one wants to hear. Newborns who sustain birth injuries as a result of a doctor or nurse’s negligence may be faced with a lifetime of complications because of a single, preventable lapse in care. When these injuries affect the brain or spine, the consequences are especially dangerous because these parts of the body bear responsibility for the majority of the body’s essential functions.

The Charleston brain and spinal damage lawyers of the Steinberg Law Firm have devoted more than 80 years to serving the families who find themselves victimized by inexcusable negligence. Contact us at 843-720-2800 to learn how a legal action may better equip you to care for the additional medical, psychological, and other needs that your child will have due to the injuries suffered.

Complications of Brain and Spinal Damage

Adults stricken by brain or spinal damage are subject to the loss of functions and abilities that they have developed and refined throughout their lives. But similar injuries immediately before, during, or after birth can prevent those same abilities from developing at all. It is not difficult to grasp that these consequences can severely hamper one’s quality of life and will require extensive and lifelong care, especially when considering that the effects may include:

• Paraplegia
• Quadriplegia
• Lack of respiratory independence
• Severe cognitive impairments
• Loss of sensation
• Compromised muscular control
