Farming and manufacturing accidents, as well as the oil and gas industry can also cause serious injury and toxic exposure.

Most SCI's are caused by trauma to the vertebral column, affecting the spinal cord's ability to send and receive messages between the brain and the body's systems that control sensory, motor and autonomic function. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of SCI, followed by acts of violence, falls, sports injuries and diseases such as polio, spina bifida and Friedreich's Ataxia. The spinal cord does not have to be severed in order for a loss of functioning to occur; it only has to be fractured. New Hampshire personal injury lawyer William H.

Insurance Claims: Insurance claims are a notice for reimbursement from an insurance company when the insured has suffered a loss that is covered under the insurance policy.

This means that an insurance company must engage in a reasonable investigation and pay legitimate claims in a timely manner.
