Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
- Complete: A complete spinal cord injury occurs when all communication is severed between the brain and the body below the injury.
- Incomplete: With an incomplete spinal cord injury, the victim retains some degree of functioning below the point of injury.
Some common examples of complete and incomplete spinal cord injuries include:
- Paraplegia: Complete loss of motor function/sensation in the lower limbs and lower half of the torso (paralysis from the waist down)
- Quadriplegia/Tetraplegia: Complete loss of motor function/sensation in all four limbs and the torso (paralysis from the neck down)
- Triplegia: Loss of motor function/sensation in three limbs (paralysis of three limbs, whether both legs and one arm or both arms and one leg)
- Anterior Cord Syndrome: Compression of the spinal cord, leading to partial or complete motor paralysis and loss of sensation
- Central Cord Syndrome: An incomplete injury to the cervical (neck) spine, leading to weakness in the arms and, sometimes, the legs
- Brown-Sequard Syndrome: An injury to the spine that leads to paralysis or weakness in one side of the body and loss of sensation in the opposing side
Sometimes, disc injuries are also classified as spine injuries. Such injuries include herniated discs, also referred to as bulging or slipped discs. These injuries are extremely painful and require extensive, ongoing medical attention and care.
Common Causes of Spine Injuries
Unfortunately, most spine injuries result from the negligent or wrongful actions of others. Traumatic accidents and events are a leading cause of spinal cord injuries, followed by alcohol-related incidents and disease.
Common causes of spine injuries include:
- Motor vehicle accidents, including those involving cars, motorcycles, large trucks, and RVs
- Falls, including slip and fall accidents and falls from heights
- Sports and recreational accidents, such as boating and ATV accidents
- Acts of violence, such as assault
- Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
If you or a loved one suffered a spine injury in any type of accident or traumatic event, you could have grounds for a personal injury claim. By taking legal action, you can not only work to hold the negligent person or party accountable, but you can also seek fair financial compensation for your economic and non-economic damages.
Establishing Fault for a Spine Injury
Whether you were hit by a drunk driver or slipped and fell due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, it’s important that you understand how liability affects your case and your potential recovery. In Florida and Georgia, you are not prohibited from filing a personal injury claim if you were partially at fault for the accident, but your total recovery will be limited. In Georgia, you will not be able to file a claim at all if you are found to be more than 50% at fault.
Often, insurance companies will raise the issue of shared fault to devalue or deny valid claims. The insurance company might argue that you were mostly to blame for the accident and, therefore, you are not entitled to compensation or are only entitled to a small percentage of the total recovery. But for spine injury victims facing years of costly medical treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering, recovering full compensation is critical to recovery.
At the Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A., we know how to fight back against unjust insurance company tactics. Our spine injury lawyers work with a team of experts—including accident reconstructionists, medical professionals—and investigators to effectively build powerful cases on behalf of our clients. Our goal is to not only help you navigate the legal process as easily as possible but also to recover the maximum compensation you are owed.
