Why Are Spinal Cord Injuries So Serious?
A spinal cord injury can have lifelong consequences, from loss of mobility to chronic pain and even paralysis. This is because the spinal column is responsible for transmitting messages between the brain and the rest of the body. When it is damaged, these messages cannot be properly transmitted, leading to a range of physical impairments.
Can Spinal Cord Injuries Be Treated?
While there’s currently no cure for many spinal injuries, treatments are available that can significantly improve a patient’s quality of life. This includes rehabilitation therapies, medication for managing symptoms, and surgical procedures to stabilize the spine.
What Damages Can Be Recovered in a Spinal Cord Injury Case?
If you have suffered severe injuries due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for a variety of damages. These include:
Skilled Des Plaines personal injury attorneys can help assess the full extent of your injuries and build a strong case to recover these damages.
What Are the Most Common Causes of Spinal Column Injuries?
Spinal cord injuries are often the result of accidents when victims sustained injuries from a motorcycle accident or other vehicle crash, pedestrian accidents, falls, sports injuries, and acts of violence. Medical conditions like tumors, infections, or diseases can also lead to spinal cord damage.
Who Might Be Liable for a Spinal Injury?
Determining liability in personal injury cases involving the spine can be complex. It may involve identifying the responsible party, such as negligent drivers or property owners, and proving that their actions directly caused your injury.
When Might a Spinal Cord Accident Be a Valid Personal Injury Claim?
Spinal column accidents may be valid personal injury claims if they were caused by another party’s negligence or recklessness. This can include situations such as car accidents involving a drunk driver, a workplace accident caused by unsafe working conditions, or a slip and fall on poorly maintained property.
