What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?
A spinal cord injury occurs when there is damage to the tight bundle of cells and nerves that sends and receives signals from the brain to the rest of the body. A spinal cord injury can affect you differently, depending on the severity of the injury and the location of your injury on your spinal cord.
Spinal cord injuries can result in the following signs and symptoms:
Loss of bowel or bladder control
Loss of movement
Loss or changes in sensation
Difficulty moving parts of your body
Difficulty breathing
Changes in sexual function
Exaggerated reflexes
Always seek immediate medical assistance after an accident – especially if you have sustained any trauma to the neck or head. It may not be clear right away if you have suffered a spinal cord injury and an immediate evaluation and treatment can be crucial to your recovery.
What Can Cause a Spinal Cord Injury?
Car accidents and motorcycle accidents in Arizona are the most common causes of spinal cord injuries in the United States – resulting in nearly half of all spinal cord injuries each year. Other causes include falls, acts of violence, and injuries from sports and recreational activities. Falls account for 15 percent of back and spinal injuries.
Types of Compensation Available
After a spinal cord injury in Glendale, you may be able to recover the following types of compensation from your personal injury claim:
Economic damages: These are the tangible losses you have incurred as a result of your injury. They include lost wages, lost earning capacity, and past or future medical expenses, such as hospital bills, charges for doctor’s appointments, or costs for prescription drugs.
Non-economic damages: These are the intangible losses you are suffering as a result of your injury that are far more difficult to measure. They include your pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional distress.
