Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer in St. Bernard Parish

Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries are often very serious, and the resulting physical, mental, and emotional damage can affect a victim for the rest of their life. Accidents that cause spinal cord injuries are not that rare; the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center reported in 2011 that there are approximately 12,000 new cases of spinal cord injury in the United States each year. In addition to physical complications, injured individuals may be facing costly medical bills and may be unable to work and support themselves or their families.

How Severe are Spinal Cord Injuries?

Most spinal cord injuries begin with a blow that either fractures or dislocates the vertebrae, but does not actually sever the spinal cord. In these instances, the injuries sustained often involve pieces of vertebrae tearing into nerve tissue or pressing down and damaging nerve parts that carry signals. In more severe cases, the spinal cord is hurt in a way that prevents it from relaying messages and paralysis results.

Helping You Seek Fair Compensation for Your Immediate & Long-Term Needs

Most spinal cord injuries require immediate emergency treatment to reduce the potential of debilitating long-term effects. Extensive medicine and rehabilitative therapy are typically necessary later on. While these treatment options often help victims recover to some extent, many will require long-term care, resulting in significant stress and costly medical bills that can put a major burden on the injured individual and their family.
