Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries
A spinal cord injury occurs when the spinal cord—which carries messages between the brain and the rest of the body—is damaged. This can result in partial or complete loss of motor function and sensation below the point of injury. The severity of the injury depends on the location and extent of the damage.
Common types of spinal cord injuries include:
- Incomplete injuries: Some sensory and motor functions remain below the injury site.
- Complete injuries: Total loss of sensory and motor functions below the injury site.
Victims may experience paralysis, chronic pain, loss of bladder and bowel control, and other serious complications that require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries can result from a variety of accidents, many of which are caused by another party’s negligence. Common causes include:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents are leading causes of spinal cord injuries. Sudden impacts can cause severe trauma to the spine.
- Slip and Fall Accidents: Falls from heights, staircases, or slippery surfaces can result in spinal injuries, particularly among older adults and workers in hazardous environments.
- Workplace Accidents: Construction sites and industrial environments pose significant risks for spinal cord injuries due to falls, heavy equipment accidents, and other hazards.
- Sports and Recreation Accidents: High-impact sports like football, diving accidents, and extreme sports can lead to severe spinal injuries.
- Acts of Violence: Gunshot wounds and physical assaults can also damage the spinal cord.
If your spinal cord injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses.
The Financial Impact of a Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injuries often require extensive medical treatment and ongoing care, resulting in significant financial challenges for victims and their families. The costs can include:
- Emergency medical care and surgeries
- Hospitalization and rehabilitation
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Home modifications and assistive devices
- Long-term care and support services
- Loss of income and diminished earning capacity
According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, the lifetime costs for someone with a spinal cord injury can range from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, depending on the severity of the injury.

I had an outstanding experience working with Ciana on a personal injury matter. Without her expertise, I would have never realized that I even had a case. Ciana’s attention to detail and deep understanding of personal injury law were invaluable. She guided me through every step with professionalism and care, ensuring I understood the process and felt supported. Thanks to her diligence and expertise, what could have been overlooked became a well-handled case. I highly recommend Ciana to anyone needing a knowledgeable and dedicated legal professional.

Aria has been working with me and she is very thorough. I don’t get good sleep at night because of my injury but knowing that Palace Law is on the job gives me peace of mind specially, when they have employees like Aria thanks for letting me give my feedback and putting me in a position to give feedback.

They have been entirely helpful since they accepted my case. Thorough and informative every step of the way. When I had an IME and no gas in my car they arranged for a ride to and from. After fighting tooth and nail myself with little to no results Palace Law stepped in and immediately Sedgwick stopped dragging me through the mud.
