Spinal Cord Injury Cases
Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord
injuries are among the most devastating injuries a person can suffer. These
injuries often result in partial or complete paralysis. The spinal cord carries
messages between your brain and the rest of your body. When it gets damaged,
those messages cannot get through.
Spinal cord
injuries can happen in many ways:
- Car accidents are the leading
cause - Falls from heights or on
slippery surfaces - Sports injuries, especially
contact sports - Acts of violence including
gunshot wounds - Medical mistakes during surgery
Types of Spinal Cord Paralysis
Complete spinal cord injuries mean no feeling or movement below the injury site. Incomplete injuries allow some function to remain. The location of the injury determines what parts of the body are affected.
- Quadriplegia – Affects all four limbs and the torso (injury in neck area)
- Paraplegia – Affects the legs and lower body (injury in chest, back, or lower spine)
- Monoplegia – Affects one limb only
- Hemiplegia – Affects one side of the body
Legal Rights for Spinal Cord Injury Victims
If someone else caused your spinal cord injury, you have legal rights. You can seek compensation for:
- Medical bills and hospital expenses
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Future medical costs and care needs
- Home modifications and medical equipment
- Physical and occupational therapy costs
Spinal cord injury cases require immediate action. Evidence can disappear quickly. Witnesses may forget important details. Insurance companies often try to settle cases for far less than they are worth.
