    Types of Spinal Cord Injuries

    Spinal cord injuries are generally separated into two types:

    • Complete: A complete spinal cord injury results in the total loss of ability of the spinal cord to convey messages to the brain. In other words, the connections between the nerves in the spinal cord and the brain are completely severed.
    • Incomplete: When a spinal cord injury is incomplete, some nerves remain connected to and able to communicate with the brain. Those with incomplete spinal cord injuries often retain some degree of function.

    Complete spinal cord injuries often result in partial or total paralysis, including paraplegia and quadriplegia/tetraplegia. Victims generally lose sensation, function, and the ability to move the affected areas of the body. In contrast, victims of incomplete spinal cord injuries may still retain some degree of movement, function, and sensation, though this could be limited.

    The location of the injury along the spine often plays a central role in the type of spinal cord injury the victim sustains. Additionally, the type, location, and degree of injury will play a large role in the effects experienced by the victim.

    What Are the Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries?

    Some of the most common causes of spinal cord injuries include:

    • Motor vehicle accidents
    • Sports-related accidents
    • Violence
    • Falls
    • Recreational accidents

    Disease, genetics, and other factors also contribute to spinal cord injuries, but the most common cause is trauma to the spine, often associated with violent accidents. Sadly, many of these accidents could have been prevented, had another person or party acted with care instead of negligence.

    If you believe that your injury or your loved one’s injury was the result of someone else’s negligent, careless, or wrongful conduct, you could have grounds to seek compensation for your damages by filing a personal injury lawsuit. A successful lawsuit could allow you to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, disability, pain and suffering, disfigurement, and more.

Our team has successfully secured millions of dollars on behalf of our clients and, with our professional help, you can focus on recovering while we handle the legal aspects of your claim.

    Working on Your Story and Case

    After hiring a spinal injury attorney, the next step will be to work on your story and your case. Did you get injured at work? Did it happen in a car accident? Were you at a particular place? Did someone injure you specifically?

    No matter what happened, making an outline of the incident and compiling evidence will help you to create a compelling case in your favor.

    Assess Your Compensation Requirements

    Calculating your spinal cord injury settlement is based on different factors that your attorney will be able to explain. From your medical bills, all the way to the pain and suffering you’ve sustained during the incident, these factors will be taken into account during your trial to determine how much compensation you deserve. The better your case, the more compensation you will be entitled to. This is why having an expert attorney by your side is crucial.

    Focus on Healing

    Finally, the last thing that an attorney will be able to provide you with is the focus needed to recover and heal. Instead of focusing on the incident and being unable to move forward from it, you can leave it to the professionals and get back to your everyday life in no time.
