Understanding Spinal Injuries

Spinal cord injuries can be caused by any traumatic event. They are common during car accidents, construction accidents, and slips and falls. Damage occurs when the nerves are torn. In many cases, the sharp edges of broken vertebrae can tear the cord and sever the nerves.

There are different levels of spinal cord injuries. Incomplete injuries happen when there is damage to the spine but the victim still has sensation and motor functioning. In these cases, some people are able to regain strength and movement with proper healing and intervention.

Complete spinal cord injuries involve total loss of motor and sensory function below the injury site. This is known as paraplegia and tetraplegia as the nerves no longer communicate between the brain and the body. The most severe cases leave you unable to control your muscles, bladder, and bowels.

Spinal cord injuries are emergencies that require immediate treatment. You may need surgery, and you may be in the hospital for days or weeks before starting physical therapy. Many people need back braces, soft neck collars, and other treatments to promote healing. The cost of treatment can be millions of dollars over a lifetime, but your individual journey will be unique.

Most people with spinal cord injuries have other injuries as well. This could include bone fractures, brain injuries, or skin injuries. Your outcome will be based on the severity of your injuries overall.

When your cervical spine near the neck is damaged, you may need a ventilator. Life expectancy in these cases is only 1.5 years. If you still have some motor functioning, that goes up to 20 years. However, this could still require a lot of care from family, doctors, or even professional caregivers.

In other words, spinal injuries can shorten your life, and they can dramatically change your life. You and your loved one deserve to be compensated. Call Murray & Murray LLC today.
