Anterior Cord Syndrome Attorneys
Anterior Cord Syndrome Lawyers
Anterior cord syndrome and other spinal cord injuries can bring lifelong challenges, from severe pain to loss of mobility and independence. If negligence caused your injury, the attorneys at Grimes Teich Anderson are prepared to help you pursue compensation for medical care, lost wages, and the lasting impact on your quality of life.
Spinal cord injuries are life-threatening, and regularly leave people with lifelong mobility limitations. The anterior spinal artery, which runs along the front of the spinal cord, is an important component of the blood flow for the nervous system. Injuries to the anterior artery are not as severe as direct hits to the spinal cord because they usually do not result in loss of sensory perception. They do tend to affect motor function to varying degrees, though, based on the type of fracture to the cord and the impact with which it occurs.

Common Symptoms of Anterior Cord Syndrome
The most common cause of anterior cord syndrome is flexion damage, and many people who have anterior cord damage do not immediately know they have it. The symptoms listed here may suggest that you have suffered flexion or another spinal impact. Following any extreme impact to the body any of these are a sign that medical attention and legal action are essential.
-
Extreme pain or pressure in the neck, head or back
-
Tingling or loss of sensation in the hand, fingers, feet or toes
-
Partial or complete loss of control over any part of the body
-
Urinary or bowel urgency, incontinence or retention
-
Difficulty with balance and walking
-
Abnormal band-like sensations in the thorax — pain, pressure
-
Impaired breathing after injury
-
Unusual lumps on the head or spine
While only a doctor can diagnose anterior cord syndrome and identify its source, the effects of any spinal cord injury can be costly and painful. The North Carolina and South Caroline attorneys at Grimes Teich Anderson have years of experience in personal injury cases and may be able to help you. If someone put you in the position of suffering this significant injury they may be liable for the costs you incur in the process of getting better. Depending on whether the accident happened in North Carolina or South Carolina, a benefits package in this situation could include compensation for medical expenses and cost of care, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, loss of quality of life and other damages.
Whoever caused the accident that wounded your anterior cord artery may be responsible for covering your claim. If your injury was not caused by anyone else’s negligence and occurred due to natural causes or through fault of your own your health insurance policy may have provisions for you. Insurance companies stay in the black by denying claims like yours. They may seek reasons to outright deny your claim. Even if they offer to compensate you for your injuries, they may undervalue your claim.
Grimes Teich Anderson LLP represents the injured and never the insurance company. Let our experienced personal injury and wrongful death attorneys represent you. Our lawyers have handled many cases seeking benefits packages to address the costs of major medical situations. We can help you get the treatment and compensation to which you may be entitled because of anterior cord syndrome.

Awesome firm! Chris Connolly took time to listen and review our situation. He was very honest and upfront about the process and potential outcomes. My daughter’s case has some complexities and Chris explained every detail and possibility. Bottom line, he fought for us and won!!! I would rate them 10 stars if possible.

I had the chance to speak with Anna Hamrick and Katie Gates, and their professionalism truly stood out. From 2024 to 2026, everything was handled well, with a level of confidence, honesty, and calm presence. They took their time with me, explained everything clearly, and treated me with real care and respect. Their dedication and work ethic are admirable; I’m genuinely grateful for the way they guided me.

Needing an attorney was never something I wanted to need, but I did and thanks to Anna H. and Katie G. it was not so overwhelming. Having to deal with a legal issue and having a trusted attorney is key. I had no idea what to expect during the duration of the time I needed legal representation but Anna and Katie not only keep me well informed but also explained things to me in a way that made sense. If you happen to find yourself in need of legal representation I highly recommend them.

We had a very positive experience working with this law firm on a disability claim. From the initial consultation, Kathy W. was knowledgeable, informative, and supportive. She maintained consistent communication throughout the process and responded to our questions promptly and thoughtfully, which helped ease what can be a very stressful experience. During the court hearing, Attorney Christian provided clear guidance and sound advice, ensuring we felt prepared and supported every step of the way.
