Personal Injury Cases Involving Spinal Cord Injuries
The spinal cord is the nerve highway that extends from the base of the brain to the top of the buttocks. It is responsible for sending messages between the brain and all other parts of the body.
When injured, the spinal cord may not be able to transfer these messages. An injury to it can range from instantly fatal to permanent loss of strength, sensation, and function below the site of injury (paralysis) to far less devastating. A small compression of the cord can cause numbness, pain, tingling, loss of strength and many other sensations to specific parts of the body, such as fingers or toes, or to large areas of the body. Digestion, sexual abilities, heart performance, respiration and all other body functions can all be impaired by injury to the spinal cord.
Common Spinal Cord Injury Causes:
- Automobile accidents
- Football or other intense sports
- Falling from a significant height
- Electrical accidents
- Violent attack such as a stabbing or gunshot
- Diving into shallow water
