What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS): “A spinal cord injury usually begins with a sudden, traumatic blow to the spine that fractures or dislocates vertebrae.” This kind of injury interrupts axons, which are the nerve cells that carry signals up and down your spinal cord, allowing your brain to communicate with the rest of your body.

Because spinal cord injuries fracture and compress vertebrae and crush and destroy axons, they frequently lead to paralysis. Paralysis occurs when the brain and body can no longer communicate and typically occurs below the site of the spinal cord injury.

Cervical spinal cord injuries affect the head and neck region above the shoulders, thoracic spinal cord injuries affect the upper chest, mid-back, and abdominal muscles; lumbar spinal cord injuries affect the hips and legs, and sacral spinal cord injuries affect the hips, back of the thighs, buttocks, and pelvic organs.

No matter where the injury occurs, paralysis can be complete or incomplete. An incomplete spinal cord injury allows some function below the primary level of injury, while a complete spinal cord injury produces a total loss of all motor and sensory function below the level of injury. Complete spinal cord injuries tend to lead to paraplegia (paralysis from the waist down) and tetraplegia or quadriplegia paralysis from the neck down).

What Causes Spinal Cord Injuries?

The most common causes of spinal cord injuries in the United States are car accidents and falls.

Other common causes of spinal cord injuries include:

Many of the situations above involve negligence, which means the at-fault parties can be held accountable. If someone else harmed you, you should not have to cope with the consequences alone. Day Law Group can help make sure you don’t have to.

    How Hiring an Attorney Can Help

    Sustaining a spinal cord injury can change your life, and not necessarily for the better. To survive a spinal cord injury, you will need emergency care and intensive medical attention. Even so, you will likely be left with permanent disabilities and serious complications. Coping with a spinal cord injury may require lifelong care and assistance, which do not come for free. This is especially stressful at a time when the consequences of your injury may mean you are no longer able to work.

    Fortunately, a successful lawsuit can help you cope with all these expenses and compensate you for your non-economic losses.

    If your attorney wins your case, damages can account for:

    • Current and future medical expenses
    • Rehabilitative care
    • Experimental treatments
    • Assistive care and devices
    • Missed work and wages
    • Loss of future earnings
    • Pain and suffering
    • Mental anguish
    • Loss of enjoyment of life
    • And more
