FAQ From WA SCI Lawyer
Q. What is a spinal cord injury (SCI)?
A. The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that conduct information from the brain to the rest of the body, and from the body back to the brain. Some nerves are related to sensation and/or motor function, maintaining involuntary bodily functions such as breathing. This bundle of nerves is encased in the bony spinal column. If the spine is broken, the spinal cord suffers a traumatic injury which can result in loss of function and feeling.

FAQ: What can I expect if I am injured in a mass transit bus accident?
Q. What can I expect if I am injured in a mass transit bus accident?
A. You can expect a representative from mass transit to request an interview. Before granting an interview, you should speak with an attorney so that you know what you should and shouldn’t say. If you have spoken with investigators already, it can still be worth discussing your case with an attorney, who can launch a separate investigation into events.
You can also expect to have to submit a report that verifies that you were present at the time of the injury. You may need assistance tracking down witnesses and proof that you were indeed where you claim you were, especially if you have waited to initiate your case.
