When facing the life-altering consequences of a spinal injury, the path to recovery can seem overwhelming.

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) occur when trauma damages the spinal cord, leading to potential loss of motor control, sensation, and bodily functions below the injury site. The severity of these injuries varies widely, from minor nerve damage to complete paralysis. SCIs can be categorized as:



• Complete Spinal Cord Injury: This type results in total loss of motor function and sensation below the injury level.
• Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: Here, the spinal cord is only partially damaged, and some motor or sensory function may remain.
  

• Car Accidents / motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of spinal cord trauma in people under the age of 65, often resulting from collisions or rollovers.
• Workplace Accidents caused by falls from heights, being struck by heavy machinery, or construction site hazards.
• Sports Injuries occurring in high-contact sports or accidents during extreme physical activity.
• Medical Malpractice due to negligence during surgery or medical treatment.
• Slip and Fall Accidents are particularly dangerous for the elderly and those working in hazardous environments. The leading cause of spinal cord trauma in those over 65 is caused by falls

Regardless of the cause, the effects of a spinal injury are life-altering and require significant medical intervention.

In addition to paralysis, spinal cord injuries often precipitate other secondary health problems, such as scoliosis, spasticity, pressure sores, and breathing difficulties. A large percentage of those afflicted experience clinical depression. The average life expectancy is lessened after a spinal cord injury. The most common complication causing premature death of SCI victims used to be kidney failure, but the incidence of renal complications has declined with medical advances; more recently, pneumonia and septicemia are greater dangers to paralyzed patients.

If you or someone in your family is suffering with the challenges of adjusting to a spinal cord injury, you may have already incurred enormous medical expenses at a time when you are unable to work. If you or the injured family member were the primary breadwinner, the injury may have left your family with little income. You or your family member may never return to work at all, may never be employed in the same capacity, or may never earn the same money as before the accident. A year after a spinal cord injury, only 11.8 percent of victims are working. Worry about how the family will survive creates anxiety and alters relationships. Marriages are statistically somewhat more likely to end, and family dynamics are forever changed. Those who were not married before the accident are less likely to ever be.

Many spinal cord injuries are caused by accidents that are the fault of a person other than the victim. Others are the result of deliberate acts of violence that may be related to negligent security. If another individual, company, or government entity was the cause of your injury, you may be able to recover a substantial amount of money in damages to help you with the many adjustments you’ll need to make to go on living and to pay your past and continuing medical and rehabilitation expenses.
