A spinal cord injury occurs when a traumatic event results in damages to cells within the spinal cord or severs the nerve tracts relaying signals up and down the spinal cord. Most commonly, a spinal cord injury will include bruising of the spinal cord and compression because of pressure on the spinal cord. Sometimes the spinal cord injury will cause severing or tearing of some nerve fibers and central cord syndrome. The most severe cases of spinal cord injury can cause paralysis and loss of sensation and reflux function below the point of injury, which can affect breathing, bowl and bladder control, as well as other bodily functions.
Spinal cord injuries continue to affect a high number of people, leaving the patients with lost functioning and permanently altered lives. The majority of spinal cord injuries are the result of car accidents, though violence or sports injuries also top the list of causes. The damages suffered because of a spinal cord injury can be an enormous undertaking. A reputable and experienced medical malpractice lawyer will be able to thoroughly investigate a case and appropriately advise you of your legal rights and options.
