Tens of thousands of people suffer from a spinal cord injury every year. Also known as SCI, spinal cord injuries and severe truck accidents go hand in hand. Such injuries are caused by trauma in a truck collision and cause temporary or permanent loss of motor functions, sensation, movement (paralysis), or loss of bowel or bladder control.
Spinal injuries are defined by medical professionals with regard to the area(s) that affect the spine. Injuries to the neck area of the spinal will affect the cervical vertebrae. For example, an injury to the fourth cervical vertebrae is referred to as a C-4 injury. Traveling down the spine from the cervical vertebrae is the thoracic vertebrae referred T-1, T-2, T-3 etc. The lower parts of the spine are defined as the lumbar and sacral vertebrae.
The spinal cord is wrapped with sensitive nerves that send impulses and controls throughout the body from the brain. The spinal cord is the direct path of these nerves to the brain. When trauma to the spinal cord occurs, serious and catastrophic consequences result. Our truck and tractor trailer accident lawyers are trained to handle such cases from start to finish. We are a team of accident lawyers dedicated, experienced, and sensitive in handling and resolving cases with trucking companies.
A spinal cord injury will typically involve a swelling of the spinal cord which affects the entire body. Recovering from swelling may take weeks, months, or even years. Often, functioning of the body will return. However, the victim of a truck accident may never fully regain all function of the body.
