All Spinal Cord Injury Cases Are Different
The sudden impacts involved in an accident can result in damage to the spinal cord, up to and including partial or total paralysis. A spinal cord injury impacts a person’s life physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, and socially.
There are about 285,000 people in the United States who are living with spinal cord injuries. About 38.4% of those injuries are from car crashes that result in a fracture, dislocation, hyperextension, or hyperflexion of the spinal cord.
No matter what the nature of your injuries are, our experienced injury attorneys can help you.
The location of the spinal cord injury dictates the parts of the body that are affected. In general, the higher the injury occurs in the spinal column, the more dysfunction a person will experience. Damage to any part of the spinal cord can cause permanent changes in strength, sensation, and other functions below the injury site.
A spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord that results in a loss of function, such as mobility and/or feeling. There are varying degrees of spinal cord injuries, and the spinal cord does not have to be severed for a person to lose function. Most injuries to the spinal cord do not completely sever it.
Spinal cord injuries can be complete or incomplete:
- Complete Spinal Cord Injury: A complete spinal cord injury means that the nerves below the point of injury can no longer communicate with the brain. This leads to total paralysis below the location of the injury.
- Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: An incomplete injury means that the ability of the spinal cord to convey messages to the brain is not entirely lost. Additionally, some sensations (even if it’s faint) and movements are possible below the level of injury.
