Spinal Cord Injury

There are two types of spinal cord injuries. They are:

• Complete Spinal Cord Injury: A complete spinal cord injury means total loss of function and sensation below the level of the injury on both sides of the body. There is no voluntary movement.
• Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: An incomplete spinal cord injury means there is partial loss of function and sensation below the primary level of the injury. The degree of function may vary from side to side. A person with an incomplete injury may be able to move one limb more than another and may have sensations in a part of the body that cannot be moved.

About the Spinal Column

The spinal column is comprised of primarily the vertebrae, discs and spinal cord. The vertebrae may be broken without damaging the spinal cord. In these cases, the person may not experience any permanent paralysis. Types of spinal column breaks include:

• Cervical Spine Fracture (Broken Neck)
• Thoracic Spine Fracture (Broken Back)
• Burst Fracture
• Compression Fracture

Because spinal cord injuries can be very severe with long-term costs, it requires an experienced personal injury attorney to work with the many specialists in evaluating the future expenses associated with the injury in order to obtain adequate compensation. It is also beneficial to consult with financial planners.
