Spinal Cord Injuries

September 13th, 2011 | Author: | Personal Injury

Along with the brain, the spinal cord makes up part of the central nervous system and is responsible for some of the most essential functions in the human body. If your spinal cord gets damaged from a blunt force injury, you could suffer devastating consequences that could permanently change your life.

Spinal cord injuries can happen for a variety of reasons, including motor vehicle accidents, bad falls, sports injuries, swimming injuries, assault, and many other scenarios. If you have suffered a spinal cord injury because of someone else’s negligent actions, you need to contact a personal injury lawyer and fight for the financial compensation you need to deal with your injury-related expenses.

Consequences and Symptoms of Spinal Cord Injuries

With over 11,000 new spinal cord injuries every year in the United States, a large majority of injury victims could suffer from paraplegia or quadriplegia. Suffering from partial or full paralysis can greatly affect your life emotionally, physically, and financially. If you have suffered a spinal cord injury, you may exhibit the following symptoms:

  • Difficulty breathing
  • Paralysis
  • Numbness or tingling feeling
  • Weakness or spasticity
  • Interrupted blood flow

You will likely need financial compensation to pay for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses, and a successful lawsuit may provide you with this financial assistance.
