Mayo Clinic defines a spinal cord injury as “damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal.”
Although researchers anticipate that science will one day be able to fix spinal cord injuries, that day has yet to come. Meanwhile, advances in rehab and treatments are helping spinal cord injury victims to work as best as they can with their injuries and lead more fulfilling lives.
Types of spinal cord injuries are classified according to “the completeness” of the injury.
When a spinal cord injury results in paralysis, it, too, is classified according to the severity of the condition.
If you or a loved one sustained a forceful blow to the head or neck, you must see a medical professional right away to check for possible spinal injury.
We say this because we know that spinal cord injuries do not often present recognizable symptoms immediately following the trauma that caused them.
You might not experience numbness or paralysis until a while afterward—a gradual manifestation resulting from swelling or bleeding in the spinal cord area.
If it turns out you have sustained a spinal cord injury, timing is everything. The sooner you are treated, the better your chances to recover, at least partially, and minimize complications.
Also, the sooner after the injury that a medical practitioner evaluates you, the more strongly he or she can tie your injury to the negligent behavior of the person at fault. This connection can serve as strong evidence in establishing liability for your damages.
Spinal cord injuries can result from a wide range of causes.
In each of the above scenarios, a spinal cord injury can probably be linked to a person’s negligence. If this person had a duty, even by social contract, to prevent you from harm or injury, he or she might be liable for the damages brought on by your injury.
