Suffered Nerve Damage After a Missouri Car Accident? You Need A Lafayette County, MO Auto Accident Lawyer

The nervous system is similar to a telephone service. The brain must communicate with the body in order to process sensory information and make sure the body functions properly. Nerves are the wires that transport signals from the brain to the body. When the nerves are damaged, signals can't get through. Just as a damaged phone wire disrupts your ability to communicate, a damaged nerve can result in a disruption of body and brain function.

Nerve damage can cause:

• Difficulty in movement
  
• Limited sensitivity to touch, heat, pain or cold
• Tingling sensations, such as pins and needles
• Clumsiness in movement
• Loss of strength
• Paralysis in one region
• Complete paralysis

A nerve injury can be mildly inconvenient or severely disabling. The damage may be temporary or permanent depending on the extent of the injury. When there is damage to the nerves in the brain or spinal cord, the injury can be life altering resulting in full and permanent paralysis.
