Spinal injuries can be some of the most difficult and painful injuries to recover from. Here\u2019s some information about what you can expect after a car accident from a lawyer looking out for your interests in the court system in Nova Scotia.\n\nWhat is a spinal injury and why is it serious?<\/strong>\n\nYour spine is responsible for communication between your body and your brain. The bundle of nerves at the centre of your spine is protected by a series of bones. Taken together, the nerves, bones, and other connective tissue are your spinal cord.\n\nBecause most of the nerves in your body responsible for communication go through your spinal cord, any damage to any part of it can be potentially disastrous and there can be a wide variety of severe symptoms that result from an injury.\n\nWhat kinds of damages can my lawyer pursue?<\/strong>\n\nSince spinal injuries are potentially so grave, determining what damages you\u2019re entitled to can be complicated. Two of the most important categories of damages you can claim if you\u2019ve been in an accident are pecuniary and non-pecuniary losses.\n
