Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries occur when the spinal cord is damaged, pinched, bruised, cut or severed, whether from trauma, disease, or other causes. These injuries can result in a range of symptoms, from loss of sensation and motor function to complete paralysis below the site of the injury. Spinal cord injuries are classified into two main types, complete and incomplete:

1. Complete Spinal Cord Injuries: In these cases, there is a total loss of motor and sensory function below the level of the injury. This can lead to paraplegia (paralysis of the lower body) or tetraplegia/quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs and the torso).
2. Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries: With incomplete injuries, where the spinal cord is not severed, there is some preservation of motor or sensory function below the level of the injury. The degree of function retained varies, and recovery potential may also vary.

Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries can result from a variety of incidents, many of which are preventable. Some of the most common causes include:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents are leading causes of spinal cord injuries, often due to the high-impact nature of these collisions.
• Falls: Slip and fall accidents, particularly in older adults, can lead to serious spinal injuries. Workplace falls, especially in construction and other high-risk industries, are also common.
• Acts of Violence: Assaults, gunshots, and other forms of violence can cause significant trauma to the spine, leading to life-changing injuries.
• Sports and Recreational Activities: High-contact sports, diving accidents, and other recreational activities can also result in spinal cord injuries.
• Medical Malpractice: Errors during surgeries or other medical procedures can sometimes result in spinal cord damage.

The Impact of Spinal Cord Injuries

The consequences of a spinal cord injury are profound and far-reaching. In addition to physical limitations, victims may face emotional and psychological challenges, loss of income, and mounting medical expenses. The need for ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, assistive devices and adaptive technology can place a significant financial burden on the injured person and their family.

At Hardball Law, we understand the full scope of these challenges. Attorney Susan R. Green is committed to ensuring that her clients receive compensation that addresses not only their immediate medical needs but also the long-term impact of their injuries.

How Hardball Law Can Help

Navigating a personal injury claim involving a spinal cord injury can be complex, requiring a thorough understanding of both the medical and legal aspects of the case. Our experienced team at Hardball Law is here to guide you through every step of the process. We work closely with medical experts, vocational specialists, and life care planners to build a strong case that reflects the true extent of your injuries and the compensation you deserve.

We can help you pursue damages for medical expenses covering hospital bills, surgery costs, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical care. We’ll also seek compensation for time missed from work and potential future earnings lost due to the injury. We also pursue so-called “non-economic” damages to make up for other harm spinal cord injury victims are forced to endure, including physical pain, suffering and emotional distress caused by the injury, as well as compensation for the impact on quality of life, such as one’s ability to enjoy day-to-day activities and hobbies.
