A spinal injury is an extremely serious injury caused by damage to any part of the spinal cord, its tissues, and/or its surrounding nerves. The spine keeps our bodies upright, supports our head and neck, and the central nervous system (CNS) travels throughout this structure. It is an absolutely essential component of our body. This is usually caused by a very traumatic auto accident, which could be a contact sports injury or a gunshot.

A car accident can certainly cause a spinal injury. In fact, the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC) reported that they are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries. These injuries are brought on by a strong and sudden blow to the spinal cord, which is very possible in a serious car accident.

The collision may have caused you to jerk back-and-forth in your seat, hit your back against some other object, or possibly even be ejected from the vehicle to be hurt on the pavement. Such a strong force can cause muscles, discs, bones, and more connective tissues to get damaged and thus cause the symptoms of a spinal cord injury to begin. These symptoms include muscle or general weakness, loss of range of motion, numbness or tingling sensations in the legs and arms, muscle spasms, difficulty breathing, and/or the inability to move.

This is a life-altering injury that can change your ability to continue your previous lifestyle, occupation, and daily activities. These should obviously warrant immediate medical attention so that you can be diagnosed and treated accordingly. It can be very scary to endure this, but as you speak with your doctor, they can help you work through the process to understand and manage your situation. Then, if you would like to pursue a claim for your injuries, we are here to help you receive compensation for your injury and the unfair, drastic changes it has had on your life.
