Nerve Injury

Nerve injuries, while invisible, can be some of the most debilitating injuries. These injuries can result from myriad circumstances, ranging from car accidents to workplace incidents, slips and falls, and even dog bites. Regardless of their cause, the impact of a nerve injury on your life can be profound, long-lasting, and in many cases, irreversible. The Charlotte nerve injury lawyers at the Olsinski Law Firm, PLLC, have extensive experience helping to connect accident victims with meaningful compensation for their injuries. We take an all-hands-on-deck approach to every case we handle to make sure that you recover the compensation you need, deserve, and are entitled to.

Nerves are bundles of fibers that transmit information between the brain and the rest of the body. Essentially, nerves are the body's communication system, responsible for both voluntary actions, like moving a hand, and involuntary actions, such as heartbeats. There are three primary types of nerves in the human body: autonomic, motor, and sensory nerves. Injury to any of these can result in a range of symptoms and impairments. For example, a nerve that gets compressed, lacerated, or overstretched can become damaged.

There are many possible causes of nerve injury; however, the following types of accidents are among the most common causes:

• Motor vehicle collisions,
• Pedestrian accidents,
• Intentional assaults,
• Slip and fall accidents,
• Workplace injuries,
• Dog bites, and
• Construction accidents.

Read on to learn more about the symptoms of nerve injuries.

The symptoms of nerve injuries vary widely, depending on the location and severity of the injury. However, as Charlotte nerve injury lawyers who have handled countless cases, in our experience, the most common symptoms include:

• Pain or numbness,
• Muscle weakness,
• Tingling or burning sensations,
• Loss of coordination, and
• Loss of motor function.

Often, the pain, discomfort, or loss of motion is located in the area where the injury occurred; however, that is not always the case. Sometimes, a nerve injury in one area of the body can cause pain or affect the movement in a seemingly unrelated part of the body. And in the worst cases, nerve injuries can lead to paralysis, chronic pain, or the loss of sensation in certain areas of the body.

If you or someone you know has suffered a nerve injury due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party, you may have the right to compensation. Damages in nerve injury cases can cover the following:

• Medical bills,
• Future medical expenses,
• Rehabilitation costs,
• Lost wages or loss of earning potential,
• Pain and suffering, and
• Emotional distress.
