Spinal cord injuries can be devastating. Damage to your spinal cord can leave you unable to use certain limbs, limit the function of bodily organs, and can be fatal.

Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries can result from both traumatic (meaning impact-based) and non-traumatic events. Trauma can result from sudden impact, such as a traffic accident, or result from damage over time caused by disease or other illness. According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC), there are around 17,810 new spinal cord injuries every year across the country. There are typically about 294,000 people living with a spinal cord injury at any given time.

The spine injury attorneys at Levinson Law, P.C., help clients recover damages for spinal cord injuries resulting from a variety of causes, including the following:

  • Medical malpractice
  • Defective products
  • Car, truck, motorcycle, bike, or pedestrian accidents
  • Slips, trips, and falls
  • Criminal violence
  • Sports injuries
  • Workplace injuries, such as construction and oilfield accidents

For people over the age of 65, falls are the most common cause of spinal cord injury. For all victims, falls still account for around 25 percent. Traffic accidents account for another 35 percent of new spinal cord injuries every year.

Spinal Cord Injury Symptoms

Spinal cord injuries should not be taken lightly. According to the NSCISC, the average medical cost for dealing with severe spinal cord injury ranges from $375,000 to $1.15 million in the first year. Lifetime costs for a 25-year-old dealing with serious spinal cord injury range from $1.7 million to $5.1 million, depending on the severity of the injury. A spine injury can cause partial or full paralysis, coma, and death. Some of the symptoms of spinal cord injury include the following:

  • Numbness or tingling in the arms and legs
  • Difficulty walking
  • Pain or weakness in the extremities
  • Headaches
  • Stiffness in the neck
  • Paralysis
  • Changes in sexual fertility, function, and sensitivity
