Spinal Cord Injuries
A spinal cord injury is a type of injury that affects the spinal cord itself and also the nerves along the spine. The spinal cord houses countless nerves and nerve endings that are responsible for regulating systems within the body. Anytime nerves are damaged by a spinal cord injury, a vast array of complicated and irreversible medical conditions may develop. Some common medical conditions and symptoms that are associated with spinal cord injuries are: digestive system dysfunction, respiratory system dysfunction, reproductive system dysfunction, paralysis, loss of mobility, numbness in limbs and paraplegia.
One of the leading causes of spinal cord injuries happens to be auto accidents. However, these debilitating injuries may also be caused by slip and fall accidents, construction accidents and premises liability accidents, too. In a matter of seconds, a person’s life can change for the worse if they are involved in a serious accident that leads to them sustaining spinal cord injuries. Thousands of spinal cord injuries occur every year and the majority of the injuries that are reported can be attributed to negligence. When someone acts recklessly or negligently, they can literally destroy someone else’s life.
