The Effects of a Spinal Cord Injury
Among the most common causes of spinal cord injuries are car accidents, motorcycle accidents and falls. People who work in certain industries, such as construction, are at increased risk for spinal injuries.
Although it is possible to suffer a back injury and a spinal cord injury, they do not always occur simultaneously. A spinal cord injury often affects many parts of the body. Complete spinal cord injuries result in complete loss of function below the level of the injury. An incomplete spinal cord injury causes some loss of function below the injury level, but leaves some functions intact.
Either type of injury is debilitating and may cause one or more of the following related conditions:
- Chronic pain
- Paralysis
- Paraplegia and quadriplegia
- Brain injury
- Respiratory problems
- Pressure sores
Spinal cord injuries require specialized medical treatment and long-term care. The expense is enormous. You need a lawyer who has the experience to recover compensation that will cover medical costs, as well as lost income if you are unable to return to work.
