Severe Consequences of Spine Injuries

The spine encases the spinal cord, which is a bundle of nerves. As it is with most nerves in the body, they are highly susceptible to severe and permanent damage. Even a small spinal cord injury can cause devastating consequences that change the victim’s life forever.

The location of a spinal cord injury will change how it affects the victim, too. The higher up on the spine the injury is located, the larger number of body parts that can be affected partially or totally by paralysis.

Two common forms of paralysis include:

  • Paraplegia:

    When damage occurs to the lower spine, it can result in paraplegia or paralysis that affects both legs and possibly some organs in the lower abdomen. People with paraplegia usually must live the rest of their lives in a wheelchair.

  • Quadriplegia:

    Damage to the upper spine near the shoulders, neck, and skull can cause quadriplegia or paralysis to all four limbs and the body. Quadriplegia can be life-threatening if it causes major organ failure or complications. Typically, people with quadriplegia require around-the-clock assistance and advanced medical support.

Damages & Losses After a Spine Injury

Living with the physical consequences of a spine injury is challenging. The situation only gets more difficult when considering the financial consequences, too, especially if the liable party does not want to pay anything. Our legal team is committed to getting the most compensation for our clients as possible because we know just how much they are going through.

Damages that add to the value of your spinal cord injury claim can include:

  • Medical costs: All past and future treatments should be paid by the liable party. Even if you need lifelong physical therapy to prevent partial paralysis from worsening, the costs should not come out of your savings account.
  • Lost wages: If you cannot maintain gainful employment because of your spine injury, then the liable party could owe you past and future wages to make up for your loss of income and earning capacity.
  • Permanent disability: Hardships and costs caused by a permanent disability can be counted as damages in a spinal cord injury claim. For example, if you need to install a wheelchair ramp to your front door, then the liable party should pay for that work.
  • Pain and suffering: The physical pain and emotional trauma you endure can be translated into non-economic damages that the liable party owes you. It will not make up for what happened, but it can help you find a sense of closure and justice.
  • Lessened enjoyment of life: You might understandably feel a lessened enjoyment of life after suffering a paralyzing spine injury that takes away some of your independence and mobility. If you have, then you can demand further non-economic damages.
