SPINE INJURY LAWYER
Navigating a Spinal Cord Injury Claim
0If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you understand how life-altering these injuries can be. Because the spinal cord controls the body’s central nervous system, damage to it can result in serious and lasting consequences, including partial or total paralysis, loss of sensation, and impaired bodily functions.
Spinal cord injuries often lead to long-term physical, emotional, and financial challenges. Recovery is difficult and expensive—and it’s a journey no one should navigate alone.
At The Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A., our experienced spinal cord injury attorneys are here to help. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to maximum compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
- Complete: A complete spinal cord injury occurs when all communication is severed between the brain and the body below the injury.
- Incomplete: With an incomplete spinal cord injury, the victim retains some degree of functioning below the point of injury.
Some common examples of complete and incomplete spinal cord injuries include:
- Paraplegia: Complete loss of motor function/sensation in the lower limbs and lower half of the torso (paralysis from the waist down)
- Quadriplegia/Tetraplegia: Complete loss of motor function/sensation in all four limbs and the torso (paralysis from the neck down)
- Triplegia: Loss of motor function/sensation in three limbs (paralysis of three limbs, whether both legs and one arm or both arms and one leg)
- Anterior Cord Syndrome: Compression of the spinal cord, leading to partial or complete motor paralysis and loss of sensation
- Central Cord Syndrome: An incomplete injury to the cervical (neck) spine, leading to weakness in the arms and, sometimes, the legs
- Brown-Sequard Syndrome: An injury to the spine that leads to paralysis or weakness in one side of the body and loss of sensation in the opposing side
Other spine-related injuries include herniated discs (also called slipped or bulging discs), which can cause intense pain and require ongoing treatment.
Common Causes of Spine Injuries
Most spinal cord injuries are caused by traumatic events, often due to negligence. Identifying the cause is critical in building a successful personal injury claim.
Common causes of spine injuries include:
- Motor vehicle accidents, including those involving cars, motorcycles, large trucks, and RVs
- Falls, including slip and fall accidents and falls from heights
- Sports and recreational accidents, such as boating and ATV accidents
- Acts of violence, such as assault
- Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
