A “spinal cord injury” (SCI) may refer to damage to vertebrae, ligaments, spinal column discs, or the spinal cord itself, and unfortunately, many of these cases involve worsening damage over time due to inflammation, bleeding, and fluid-accumulation around the spine.
If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury due to another’s negligence, speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. – Causes – Auto accidents are the single most common cause of spinal cord injuries, according to the Mayo Clinic, and account for roughly 35% of all SCIs each year. These injuries can be severe and temporarily or permanently impair essential functions of the body. – Prompt treatment – Emergency stabilizing treatment is necessary for these injuries to immobilize the spinal column, protect against worsening damage, and stabilize breathing and blood pressure. – Long-term costs – For most serious spinal cord injuries, medical costs do not end when initial treatment ends, and in some cases, these expenses can reach seven-figures. Many SCIs fall into the six-figure category for treatment costs, which can vary by year and are often extremely high in the first year after the accident.
Spinal cord injuries can be debilitating and have long-term or permanent complications which reduce your quality of life and ability to work and carry out daily functions.
