How Do Spinal Cord Injuries Occur?

Causes of spinal cord injuries include:

• Car accidents
• Falls, falling objects
• Violence
• Sports
• Other trauma

A claim for compensation following a spinal cord injury may be based on negligence or an intentional act of harm. Most of the ways that spinal cord injuries occur are accidents, including car accidents, slip and falls, harm from dangerous products, and sports accidents. A claim can be based on an accident if someone failed to exercise care and caution based on a reasonable person standard.

Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries

The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system along with the brain. It’s made up of soft tissue with the bones of the vertebrae to serve as protection. The spine communicates messages between the brain and the body. When the spinal cord sustains injury, the channels of communication are disrupted.

A traumatic spinal cord injury is sudden damage that is the result of force. It may result from:

• Fracture
• Dislocation
• Crushing
• Compression
• Penetration
• Severing
• Pulling
• Fluid accumulation

Medical conditions and diseases can damage the spine, but a traumatic injury is one that occurs suddenly because of force.

Compensation for a Spinal Cord Injury

When a spinal cord injury changes your life, the compensation you receive should reflect it. The claims process should begin with a thorough review of your losses and damages. The present and the future should be considered.

Types of compensation may include:

• Emergency medical bills
• Surgery, doctor appointments, nursing care, hospitalization
• Complications to bodily systems
• Mobility assistance
• Therapy to improve function and independence
• Decreased life expectancy
• Daily care needs
• Loss of lifestyle and activities
• Career and income loss
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional anguish

A spinal cord injury has financial and personal consequences. A claim should reflect the many ways that a victim suffers harm because of their injuries, including into the future.

As your lawyer, we carefully examine the losses you have incurred. Then, we gather proof of liability, causation, and your right to compensation. We take care of your case completely, handling the investigation, case filings, negotiations, and any court appearances.
