Spinal cord injuries can be devastating, regardless of whether they were caused by a car accident, a slip-and-fall accident or a construction accident. The emotional and financial impact of a spinal cord injury on a victim and his or her family is significant. It could mean that the victim has lost his or her ability to work and earn, his or her livelihood. It could mean that the family must pay for the victim’s treatment and care for the rest of his or her life.
A spinal cord injury occurs when there is damage to the spinal cord. Such damage usually results in a complete or partial loss of motor control and sensation. Spinal cord injury victims could become paralyzed in the lower part of their body. This condition is known as paraplegia. In certain cases they could become paralyzed from the neck down. Victims can also suffer other serious health problems as a result of complications from a spinal cord injury. Spinal injuries could be caused by auto accidents, falls, and violent acts, or as a result of injuries sustained during sports activities.
If your spinal cord injury was caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, you can file a personal injury claim against the at-fault party seeking compensation for current and future medical expenses, loss of wages, cost of medical equipment, continuing treatment and care. The expenses involved in maintaining a spinal cord injury victim’s quality of life can be staggering. Spinal cord injury lawsuits also involve complex legal and medical issues compared to other personal injury cases.
