San Francisco Spinal Fracture Injury Attorney
Spinal fractures don't always result in paralysis. A small burst fracture in any one of the regions of the spine can take weeks or months to start affecting motor or sensory skills. Generally, spinal cord fractures result from a hard, sharp blow to a particular area of the spine, including the cervical area (base of the neck), the thoracic region (middle vertebrae) and the sacral area (lowest vertebrae). Motor vehicle accidents and falling accidents are leading causes of all types of spinal fractures.
A Spinal Cord Injury Can Result in a Lifetime of Pain and Treatment
An individual suffering a spinal fracture in an accident isn't the only victim. Often, the lives of every member of the family will change, as they become caregivers and financial supporters. Monetary damages for medical treatment and personal care is not enough. The full extent of damages is much more complex than doctor's bills. A serious spinal injury affects quality of life, family relationships and the victim's dignity that comes with independence. The non-injured spouse also has a claim when their husband or wife has suffered a severe spinal cord injury.
Step cell research and knowledge of spine injuries can help us determine the impact and affects on an accident.
