Usually injuries to the spinal cord, as opposed to a spinal fracture, do not result in a cut through the spinal cord but instead they crush the thin extension of nerve cells that are surrounded by the vertebrae.
Spinal cord injuries are most commonly caused by motor vehicle accidents. The next most frequent causes are violence, mostly related to firearms. Work related injuries (predominately from construction work) are most frequent in adults while sports related injuries occur more commonly in children and teenagers. Most of these serious injuries are sustained by males between the ages of 16 and 30. More than half of all spinal injuries occur in the cervical spine (neck area) while one third occur in the thoracic spine (in the area where the ribs meet the spine) and the balance of the injuries occur in the lumbar spine (low back). The injuries sustained by people with cord injuries are quite diverse. Injuries can range form quadriplegia to loss of control over critical bodily functions to loss of sensations. It is extremely important to have an experienced personal injury attorney who has expertise in the handling and presentation of a spine injury case.
It is critical not to do anything that might have a negative affect upon you case. An experienced attorney might advise you not to give any statements or sign any authorizations so it is important to get the advice of an experienced lawyer before you do something that could have a negative impact upon your case. It is very important to have an experienced personal injury attorney who has expertise in the handling and presentation of serious injury cases. Your attorney will be able to suggest a team of experts that can range from private investigators to engineers to doctors to economists to help develop your case. In most cases, the law firm or attorneys will advance all costs and expenses of the case as they are incurred. Once the case is concluded, they would be reimbursed for their costs out of the recovery. In some states, even if there is no recovery, the client is still responsible for the costs and expenses of the case even though the client owes no legal fees. In other states, if there is no recovery, the client will owe nothing for the costs and expenses, which will be absorbed by the law firm or attorney.
