Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) can be very serious injuries, as some can interfere with the brain’s communication to other parts of the body and result in long-term complications. SCIs generally fall under two categories, which are “complete” and “incomplete.” Victims of incomplete SCIs retain some motor/sensory function below the point of injury, while complete SCIs result in no motor/sensory function below the injury.

Victims of spinal cord injuries often suffer substantial economic and non-economic losses, such as:

  • Long-term medical care/expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering, physical and/or emotional
  • Lost quality of life

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you need an experienced personal injury attorney who will fight for your compensation for all present and future losses. Legal negligence is defined as when a person fails to exercise a reasonable duty of care to another, such as when that person is at-fault for an auto accident.

Here are some common types of negligence which can lead to an accident:

  • Distracted driving
  • Tailgating
  • “Road rage”
  • Speeding/reckless driving
  • Intoxicated driving
  • Failure to yield
  • Ignoring stop signs or traffic signals
  • Improperly changing lanes
