One tool that is often used to decide the severity of a spinal cord injury is the ASIA Impairment Scale, developed by the American Spinal Injury Association. This grading system helps doctors figure out the loss of function in the body by looking at how much sensation your body has to light touch and needles with a pin prick.
The grading system is (A) through (E). Grade A is complete impairment to the body while Grade E means the body is normal. Grades B through D are where the loss of function is not total and is incomplete, usually leading to some type of partial paralysis.
To get fair compensation to try and restore your normal life you need truly experienced Wichita spinal cord injury lawyers who study not only the law but study the medicine behind your particular injury. A lawyer who does not understand the medicine will not be able to adequately help you.

Car rollover accidents are one of the main causes of spinal cord injury and paralysis. This explains why seat belts are so important to wear.
Spinal cord injuries can be broadly categorized into two types: complete and incomplete. In a complete spinal cord injury, the individual loses all sensory and motor function below the level of the injury. In an incomplete spinal cord injury, the individual keeps some level of function below the level of the injury.
The ASIA Impairment Scale is a grading system developed by the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) that describes the degree of impairment in individuals with spinal cord injuries. The scale ranges from A (complete spinal cord injury) to E (normal).
