Los Angeles Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

Accidents Resulting in Spinal Cord Injuries

Of all the bodily injury a person can sustain, those injuries affecting the spinal cord are frequently the most serious.  The spinal cord is one of the most important parts of the body, being integral to mobility, motor function, and nerve function.  When the spinal cord is injured, mobility can be affected in a small area, or over the entire body.  A person can be rendered paralyzed from the waist down, or be unable to move any body part below their neck.  If the injury is serious enough, the person can even be killed.  In the majority of cases, spinal cord injury is caused by blunt force trauma to the spine, or a twisting of the body that exceeds the spine's range of motion, leading to it cracking and severing the spinal cord contained within.  Accidents that can result in spinal cord injury include:

• Automobile accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Sports accidents
• Construction accidents
• Slip/trip and falls

Consequences of a Spinal Cord Injury

The consequences of a spinal cord injury often last for the duration of a person's life.  Even a relatively minor injury to the spine can cause constant pain that does not respond to treatment, or a lack of sensitivity in one's extremities.  At the extreme end, it can leave a person completely unable to care for themselves, and facing astronomical medical expenses.  As the victim of a spinal cord injury, you will have suffered many damages, both financial and emotional, and you deserve to be compensated for that loss to the fullest possible extent.
