What is a Spinal Cord Injury?

Spinal cord injuries result when delicate spinal cord tissue is bruised, torn, or crushed.  The segment of the cord that is injured and the severity of the injury, determine which bodily functions are compromised or lost.  Most spinal injuries do not completely sever the spinal cord. An injury may cause fractures and compression of the vertebrae.

After spinal cord injury, messages sent from the brain can no longer flow through damaged areas.  The functions of the body located above the point of injury continue to work, but the areas of the body located below the point of injury will be impaired.  You may be entitled to compensation for spinal cord injuries, including:

Broken back Spinal fracture Herniated disc Spinal cord compression Paralysis

Paraplegia Quadriplegia Fractured vertebrae Loss of bladder or bowel control Loss of sexual functioning

Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

More than 11,000 people suffer a spinal cord injury each year, resulting in severe chronic pain, paralysis, and death.  The common causes include trauma resulting from:

Automobile accidents Motorcycle accidents Trucking accidents Railroad accidents Slip and falls

Work-related accidents Violent crimes Machinery-related accidents Sports or recreational accidents Wrongful death
