Did you know that 84% of people who suffer spinal cord injuries in Canada are below the age of 34? A spinal cord injury disrupts the transportation of signals between the body and the brain. This can result in full or partial loss of sensation, motor control and paralysis of the limbs. A spinal cord injury can occur due to trauma or a blow on the spine after a car accident, a fall, sports injury, tumor, disease or violent acts.
An injured spinal cord may create a series of complications. In the most severe cases, the injury leads to paralysis. The other well-known complications of spinal cord injuries include:
Spinal cord injuries are treated as medical emergencies because they can have severe long term effects on the victim. Treatments administered include surgery, medications, braces or traction that is used to stabilize the spinal cord and in some cases surgery is required. If a spinal cord injury occurs due to another person’s negligent actions, you may need to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is considered one of the most severe personal injury claims.
Injured parties can claim compensation for the following forms of damages:
Spouses of victims of spinal cord injuries can also receive compensation for loss of care, guidance and companionship.
