If you or a family member has suffered a spinal cord injury, you may be able to recover damages from the negligent party. You may be entitled to compensation for past and future medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, modifications to your home, and rehabilitative therapy.

Fractures And Paralysis

Vertebrae fractures of the spine can cause severe chronic pain, numbness and muscle weakness. In addition to fractures, people can suffer herniated disks, slipped disks or ruptured disks. All of these injuries can result in debilitating pain that prevents the victim from working or participating in regular activities.

Spinal cord injuries can cause paralysis if vertebrae compress or tear the spinal nerves or sever the spinal cord. Paralysis can occur in one or both limbs, the facial muscles or one side of the body. It can also affect both legs and the trunk (paraplegia) or all four limbs and the trunk (quadriplegia). In the worst cases, a spinal cord injury can result in wrongful death.

Vehicle accidents and falls are the most common causes of spinal injuries. These can include:

• Car accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
• Slip-and-fall accidents
• Work accidents
• Ladder falls
• Scaffolding accidents
