When an Accident Results in a Spinal Cord Injury
The spinal cord is like the body's messenger system. It delivers information between the brain and the rest of the body. The spinal cord — which is actually a bundle of nerves surrounded by the back's vertebrae — is also very delicate and may be injured during motor vehicle accidents, medical negligence, slip and falls, construction or workplace accidents, violence or excessive force and sports accidents.
Spinal cord injuries are all too common and they can have severe and long-lasting effects on health and mobility. Injuries to the spinal cord can cause long-term chronic pain, partial paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia.
When spinal cord injuries occur in accidents caused by the negligent or careless behavior of another person — then you may consider filing a claim or personal injury lawsuit to demand compensation from the responsible party for your short- and long-term medical expenses, as well as lost income and other losses.
