What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?

A spinal cord injury (SCI) is any type of damage to the spinal cord that results from disease, degeneration, or trauma. About 9 in 10 SCIs are caused by trauma (source: WHO).

The severity and impacts of spinal cord injuries depends on a few key factors, including:

Spinal Cord Injury Statistics

The latest facts about SCIs reveal how often these injuries are occurring and just how devastating their impacts can be (sources: NSCSC & WHO):

What Are the Leading Causes of Spinal Cord Injury?

Most spinal cord injuries resulting from trauma are caused by preventable accidents (source: WHO). In those cases, the most common incidents causing SCIs are the following (source for all info about SCI causes: NSCSC).

Motor Vehicle Accidents & Spinal Cord Injury

Vehicle wrecks cause more than 38% of all spinal cord injuries. This includes:

While SCIs can occur from the sheer force of a collision, these injuries can also happen when people are thrown from or directly hit by vehicles. Many of these crashes and the resulting SCIs could have been avoided if not for the negligence of drivers and/or others.

Falls & SCIs
About 1 in 3 SCIs is caused by a fall. These falling accidents can include slip and falls, trip and falls, and falling from high elevations. Examples of the negligence that can contribute to falling accidents and spinal cord injuries include failures to maintain a safe property and failures to warn about the dangers at a property.
Other Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
Beyond vehicle crashes and falls, several other traumatic events can cause spinal cord injury. These include (and are not limited to) violence (usually gunshots), sports injuries, accidents caused by defective products, and medical or surgical injuries.

Who Can I Sue After a Spinal Cord Injury?

Whether or not you can sue any party after suffering an SCI depends on a few different factors. One of these is when the injury occurred or when it was diagnosed. If the injury-causing event (or diagnosis) happened more than a year ago, there may be limited chances to seek compensation, depending on the details of your potential case.

Still, assuming the filing deadline (statute of limitations) for your claim has not passed, you may be able to sue those at fault for causing the accident or event resulting in your SCI. That can make it essential to:

Remember, even if you may have been partly at fault for the accident and spinal cord injury, you could still have a claim. A lawyer can tell you for sure and start helping you now while there’s still time to get compensation and justice.

How Do Spinal Cord Injury Cases Work?

It depends on what type of accident or incident caused the spinal cord injury. For example, a spinal cord injury case involving a car accident versus a work accident versus a defective product can all work differently. That’s especially true when considering that each of these accidents could involve multiple at-fault parties and more than one claim.

A Covington spinal cord injury lawyer at Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers can answer this question in a no-obligation, confidential consultation.

That said, here are some important facts to understand about spinal cord injury cases:

How Much Are Spinal Cord Injury Settlements & Compensation?

Compensation depends on case-specific factors, including the severity of the SCI and the other losses suffered. Generally, however, successful spinal cord injury cases can include damages for (but not limited to):
At Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers, we know compensation won’t reverse a spinal cord injury or erase the lasting trauma it causes.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Austin Townsend after being involved in an accident that left me feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about my next steps. From our very first meeting, Austin Townsend was not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely compassionate and understanding of my situation.

Throughout the entire process, Austin Townsend kept me informed and guided me through every step, making sure I understood my options without any pressure. Their expertise in personal injury law was evident as they tirelessly negotiated with the insurance companies on my behalf.

What impressed me most was their attention to detail and willingness to fight for my rights. I felt supported and confident in their ability to represent me effectively.
