What Causes Spinal Cord Injuries in Atlanta?
Spinal cord injuries often result from another party's negligence. Understanding the common causes can help you recognize when you may have a valid claim.
Car Accidents
Sudden impacts from car crashes can force the spine into unnatural positions, causing fractures, dislocations, and compression that damage the spinal cord. These injuries are common on Atlanta's busiest highways and intersections.
Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Collisions with large commercial vehicles generate tremendous force, often resulting in the most severe spinal cord injuries. Victims of truck accidents frequently face lifelong paralysis or nerve damage.
Falls from Height
Falls remain a leading cause of spinal cord injuries, particularly among older adults. Unsafe stairwells, wet floors, and poorly maintained walkways can lead to a serious fall accident resulting in permanent damage.
Sports & Recreational Injuries
Diving into shallow water, contact sports, and other recreational activities can cause sudden trauma to the spine. Even a single hard impact can result in permanent nerve damage.
Acts of Violence
Gunshot wounds and other violent assaults account for a significant number of spinal cord injuries each year. These injuries often require extensive surgery and lifelong medical care.
Construction Site Accidents
Falling objects, scaffolding collapses, and equipment malfunctions at construction sites put workers at high risk of severe spinal trauma.
Medical Malpractice
Surgical errors, delayed diagnosis, or improper treatment during a medical procedure can cause or worsen a spinal cord injury. These cases require careful investigation to establish liability.
Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries vary greatly in severity and impact. Understanding the type of injury you have suffered can help determine the compensation you may be entitled to.
Complete Spinal Cord Injury
A complete injury results in total loss of sensation and motor function below the site of the injury. Victims typically experience permanent paralysis affecting either the lower body or all four limbs.
Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
With an incomplete injury, some function remains below the injury site. The severity varies widely depending on which nerve fibers were damaged and how badly the spinal cord was affected.
Paraplegia
Paraplegia involves paralysis that affects the legs and lower body, typically resulting from injuries to the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions of the spine.
Quadriplegia (Tetraplegia)
Quadriplegia affects all four limbs and the torso, usually resulting from injuries to the cervical spine near the neck. This is among the most catastrophic outcomes of a spinal cord injury.
Central Cord Syndrome
This condition typically results in greater weakness in the arms than the legs and can occur after hyperextension injuries, often seen in older adults following a fall.
Cauda Equina Syndrome
This serious condition affects the bundle of nerves at the lower end of the spinal cord and requires urgent medical attention to prevent permanent bladder, bowel, and leg function loss.
