Spinal Cord Injuries
A spinal cord injury occurs when the nerves within a person’s spinal cord have been damaged or when a person has sustained trauma to his/her spinal cord. Of all injuries, spinal cord injuries tend to be the most difficult to contend with because these injuries can lead to permanent paralysis of the sufferer’s body or some of the sufferer’s limbs.
Additionally, many of the symptoms associated with spinal cord injuries may not develop immediately, but with the course of time. This is why many spinal cord injuries are hard to treat medically and are devastating for injury sufferers who must live with the harsh mental, emotional, and physical side effects for the rest of their lives.
Spinal Cord Injury Side Effects
People who sustain spinal cord injuries are likely to develop numerous mental, physical, and emotional side effects. These side effects may include, but are not limited to:
- loss of respiratory functions
- loss of digestive functions
- loss of reproductive functions
- loss of mobility
- numbness in limbs
- temporary paralysis
- permanent paralysis
- nerve disorders
Spinal Cord Injuries & Personal Injury Law
According to Florida personal injury law, any person who has sustained a serious spinal cord injury as a result of another person’s negligence may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit to collect monetary compensation for their catastrophic injury. Before a person decides to file a personal injury lawsuit involving a spinal cord injury, it is a wise idea for him/her to consult with a skilled personal injury lawyer who is experienced in catastrophic injury cases.
