The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that is instrumental in the control and management of practically all body parts and other organs. Even a slight amount of damage to this sensitive organ can be devastating. Spinal cord injuries can cause a variety of side effects and lifelong complications for the people who suffer them.
Mild spinal cord damage can still result in:
In severe spinal cord injury cases, the damage to the spine can cause immediate paralysis or the loss of control of a body part. Paralysis can be partial, total, temporary, or permanent. Temporary partial paralysis of a body part or internal organ is a severe health condition that requires specialized medical care. Of course, total permanent paralysis is even more catastrophic and will change the person’s life forever.
Paralysis will usually take one of two forms:
Because the spinal cord is comprised of nerves, the chances of a spinal cord injury healing are low. Nerve tissues regenerate very slowly throughout the body if they can naturally heal at all. For this reason, most spinal cord injuries are permanent.
However, a permanent injury is not necessarily an untreatable one. Your spinal cord injury might be treatable to some extent. For example, you might be able to alleviate some of the discomfort or random pains you feel. Some patients can even regain mobility to affected body parts after months or years of care. You will need to have a conversation with your medical provider to understand your options, risks of treatments, and likely outcomes.
Three treatments that can help alleviate spinal cord injury symptoms:
When considering all the treatment methods for a spinal cord injury and the many ways such an injury can impact your day-to-day life, it is no surprise that most spine injury claims have high values. As an injured claimant who is not responsible for your injury, you can demand compensation that helps pay for your medical bills, lost wages, reduced capacity to earn income, permanent disability complications, pain, and suffering. When calculating these damages, our Austin spine injury attorneys will consider your past and future damages, even those that won’t be incurred until years later.
Insurance companies know that spinal cord injury claims are costly. If they accept that they should pay your full damages, then they might be agreeing to pay six or seven figures in compensation. To avoid such a large “loss” – as they see it, anyway – you can be sure that the insurance company representing the liable party will fight your case, top-to-bottom. Even the matter by teaming up with us.
