Spinal Cord Injury

A spinal cord injury can change the course of your life. The spinal cord is a collection of nerves that connects all of the body’s muscles and nerves to the brain. Spinal cord injuries usually happen due to a major blow to the head, neck or back that shift or crack bones in the spine. These injuries can happen in a variety of ways, but most commonly result from car accidents, sports, disease, or falling.

The most severe spinal cord injuries cause permanent, irreparable damage. Terms for the types of paralysis spinal cord injury victims suffer from are paraplegia and quadriplegia. There are variable levels of paralysis that can occur as well. Of those hospitalized with a spinal cord injury, less than 1% recover completely.

Spinal cord injury survivors often require long term medical care and physical rehabilitation to help recover. These medical bills can add up quickly and put financial stress on injury victims and their families. If you or a loved one has sustained a spinal cord injury because someone’s negligent behavior, you have the right to seek reimbursement from parties responsible for the injury.
