What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?
Every year, millions of Americans sustain spinal injuries, with around 400,000 continuing to live with their aftermath. These injuries can manifest in numerous ways—from mild contusions to severe transections. They can result in temporary loss of bodily functions, varying degrees of sensory loss including numbness and the sensation of "pins and needles" and complications such as circulatory issues, difficulty in breathing, coughing or swallowing. Other challenges may include muscle tone problems, loss of bladder and bowel control, and varying degrees of pain and suffering. In extreme cases, these injuries can lead to partial or total paralysis, affecting anything from a single limb to all four.
Understanding the Spinal Column
- Vertebrae: These are individual bone segments ranging from the neck (cervical), upper back (thoracic), lower back (lumbar), and tailbone (sacrum). In addition to creating the main structural scaffolding for your torso and internal organs, these bones protect your spinal cord and nerve roots.
- Intravertebral Discs: Positioned between vertebrae, intravertebral discs are donut-shaped cushions that prevent your vertebrae from rubbing against one another. A herniated disc—also called a “bulged,” “slipped,” or “ruptured” disc—occurs when the disc protrudes outside of its normal alignment. This can cause the disc to contact the nerves of your main spinal cord or your nerve roots, also called “impingement.”
- Spinal Cord: A long tube-like bundle of tissue that carries nerve signals from your brain to your body, through nerve roots which branch out from the spine to specific areas. The spinal cord travels through a central hole in the middle of each vertebra and intravertebral disc.
What Are the Main Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries?
Spinal injuries—from temporary loss of function to complete paralysis—can be caused in a number of different ways:
- Slips and falls
- Motor vehicle, motorcycle, and trucking accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Construction mishaps and other workplace accidents
- Swimming pool accidents
- Sports injuries
- Defective products
- Surgeries, birth injuries, and medical malpractice
- Firearm injuries, stabbings, and other violent crimes
What Are the Damages That a Spinal Cord Injury Victim Can Receive?
The extent of compensation a spinal cord injury victim may receive varies based on the specifics of each case. Generally, damages can cover past and present medical expenses, future medical needs, and rehabilitation costs. Additional compensation can address the costs of necessary equipment and medical devices, caregiver fees, lost wages, and any loss of future earning potential. Pain and suffering, though hard to quantify, is another crucial component of the damages that could be awarded.
