What Are the Causes and Physical Consequences of a Spinal Injury?
Your brain communicates with the rest of your body via the nerve tissue that makes up your spinal column. A head or spine injury can cause a tear, contusion, or compression upon this nerve tissue, which is unable to heal like other parts of your body. If this nerve tissue is damaged, you may permanently suffer from the physical effects. Each spinal injury is unique, but they usually tend to be more serious and comprehensive the closer that they are to your brain. These devastating injuries can happen in every type of accident, but we usually see them resulting from car or motorcycle wrecks, falls, swimming accidents, or gunshot wounds.
If you have suffered a brain or spinal cord injury, you may be paralyzed from the waist down (paraplegia), or your injuries may paralyze your entire body from the neck down (quadriplegia). Of the many other physical problems that could result from these types of injuries, some include:
- Having limited range of motion on certain parts of your body
- Losing the sense of feeling on parts of your body
- Having respiratory issues
- Suffering from severe depression or emotional distress
Paraplegia and Quadriplegia Require Significant Compensation to the Injured Party
It’s crucial for your attorney to understand how to seek sufficient damages for you and your loved ones, as your recovery from a spinal injury can require huge expenses. Research done by the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation has concluded that someone suffering from paraplegia or quadriplegia may have over $1,000,000 in expenses in their first year of treatment, and over $170,000 each subsequent year. Winning damages for someone with a spinal injury requires technical analysis and consulting with skilled medical experts in the field.
