What Commonly Causes Spinal Cord Injuries?

Spinal cord injuries can occur anytime, anywhere. However, there are certain circumstances that make spinal cord injuries more likely.

According to Mayo Clinic, the most common spinal cord injury causes in the U.S. are as follows:

• Car accidents
• Falls
• Assault and other acts of violence
• Sports injuries or recreational accidents

It’s also important to note that alcohol consumption is a factor in about 1 in every 4 spinal cord injuries. Although physical damage is often a factor in spinal damage, spinal injuries can also occur as the result of illness, such as cancer, arthritis, or inflammation.

What Should I Do After a Spinal Cord Injury?

If someone you know suffers a spinal cord injury, the most important thing to do is to keep them still until medical professionals arrive. The spinal cord is an extremely complex body part, and serious, debilitating nerve damage can occur if the injured party is not treated with the utmost care. To prevent injuries from worsening, the first thing you should do after a spinal cord injury is brace the injured person and call 911 for professional help.

Damages Available: What Could You Claim?

Spinal injuries can be extremely painful and may result in life-altering costs, which is why it’s important for injured parties to claim all appropriate damages after an accident. Damages may include medical bills, future medical care, medication, lost wages, decreased earning potential, loss of quality of life, pain and suffering, and more. To find out exactly what you can claim in your case, discuss your situation with our attorneys.
