Understanding Spinal Cord-Related Legal Issues

Spinal cord injuries are extremely serious injuries. They are caused by damages to the spinal column, vertebrae, discs, and/or ligaments of the spinal column. Spinal cord injuries are considered either traumatic or non-traumatic.

Traumatic spinal cord injuries are typically the result of a traumatic and sudden blow to the spine. Which, results in the fracture, crushing, dislocation, or compression of one or more parts of the vertebrae. Traumatic spinal cord injuries can also be caused by the entry of a foreign object. Such as a weapon, into one of the regions of the spinal cord.

In contrast, non-traumatic spinal cord injuries may be the result of an underlying medical issue. Such as cancer, disk degeneration, inflammation or infections.

Preventing the sufferer from ever being able to work again. Furthermore, the medical costs associated with treating a spinal cord injury are astronomical.
