Kansas City Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

Serious Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries are normally quite serious, as they can result in damage to the motor controls of the body. Stretching from the base of the neck all the way to the tail bone, the spinal cord can be injured anywhere along its length, with differing effects to the body depending on what part of the spine is injured. There are thousands of spinal cord injuries occurring every year, with approximately half of them occurring as a result of a motor vehicle accident. Other types of accidents that can cause spinal cord injuries include auto accidents, falls, work related accidents and even boating accidents.

The injuries from a spinal cord accident can be severe, with paraplegia or quadriplegia resulting, leaving a person paralyzed for life. Even a moderate spinal cord injury can affect a person's ability to walk freely and without pain.
