One of the most devastating catastrophic injuries a person can suffer is damage to their spinal cord. According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC), approximately 17,700 new spinal cord injuries occur each year. Victims are likely to require expensive medical treatment and extensive physical therapy. Despite that, they may never regain full function.is
Harmful spinal cord damage is usually caused by some form of blow or trauma to the spinal column and the nerves connected to it. If the spinal cord is damaged in the upper back or neck, the victim is likely to develop tetraplegia (paralysis of both arms and legs, also known as quadriplegia). When lower regions of the spine are injured, paraplegia (paralysis of the lower body) can result.
Both paraplegia and quadriplegia are the result of what is termed a “complete” spinal cord injury. “Incomplete” injuries do affect the entire width of the spinal cord and therefore allow for some sensations, mobility, and bodily functions below the damage.
Causes of spinal cord injuries include:
According to the Mayo Clinic, motor vehicle and motorcycle crashes cause more spinal cord injuries than any other type of accident. Together, they account for almost half of all spinal cord injuries occurring annually. Most motor vehicle accidents are caused by some form of negligence, so their victims are likely eligible to pursue compensation.
Our legal team is dedicated to holding those who caused your spinal cord injury accountable for their negligence. We work relentlessly on our clients’ behalf because we understand a fair settlement can make all the difference when it comes to your recovery.
