What Are Spinal Cord Injuries?

Spinal cord injuries occur when trauma damages the spinal cord, disrupting the transmission of signals between the brain and the body. It often leads to paralysis, loss of sensation and different other debilitating effects.

Since these injuries require long-term medical care, therapy and adjustments to daily life, working with a personal injury attorney can help ensure your needs are met and fulfilled.

Causes Of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries can arise in various scenarios. Common examples include:

In many cases, negligence or unsafe conditions can cause these traumatic injuries.

Types And Severity Of Spinal Cord Injuries

Typically, injuries impacting the spinal cord fall into two categories:

  • Complete injuries: This means that all feeling and movement are lost below the level of injury
  • Incomplete injuries: This means some sensation or movement may still be preserved.

Additionally, spinal cord injuries are classified based on their location along the spine: cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back) or lumbar (lower back). The level of injury directly impacts the severity of the effects, with injuries higher along the spine resulting in more extensive disabilities.
