spinal-cord-injuryAround 50% of spinal cord injuries are sustained in car accidents. For those who have sustained a spinal cord injury as the result of a car accident, the aftermath can be painful and hard to recover from.

Spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord, the bundle of nerves housed within the spinal column that carries messages between the brain and the body. Some of these injuries can leave a person paralyzed in the lower parts of their body or in all four limbs of their body. Spinal cord injuries can cause serious health problems, due to the spinal cord being responsible for a range of bodily functions, such as bladder, breathing, body temperature and sexual function. These types of injuries can result in a loss of mobility, partial or full loss, and feeling. The types of damages that can occur to a spinal cord include concussion of the spinal cord, spinal contusion, spinal compression and tearing of the spinal cord.

Damages to a spinal cord from a concussion of the spinal cord occurs when a sudden jolt injures the tissue surrounding the spinal cord. These types of injuries usually last a few hours.

Damages to a spinal cord from spinal contusion result in a bruise on the spinal cord that causes bleeding inside the spinal column. The pressure on the spinal cord can make it difficult to function properly.

Damages to a spinal cord from spinal compression occurs when an object, such as tumor, puts pressure on the spinal cord making it difficult to move properly.

Damages to a spinal cord from tearing to the spinal cord can result in the neurons inside the spinal cord being damaged. Spinal cords can be torn or completely cut in a car accident.

Spinal cord injuries usually result from a traumatic injury or blow to the spine.

When a person suffers a spinal injury, they may require life-long medical attention and even life-long care. The medical costs associated with spinal cord injury can be very expensive.

When a person suffers a spinal cord injury, due to a car accident caused by another, they may be entitled to compensation. Victims, of a car accident in Michigan, suffering from a spinal cord injury should seek the legal expertise of a car accident lawyer.

Car accident victims have a legal right to sue those responsible for their accident, which resulted in injury. Spinal cord injury victims have a long road to recovery. A car accident lawyer in Michigan can help victims to recover compensation to assist with their recovery process.
