Decades of Recovering Funds for our Clients
Spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when a traumatic event damages cells within the spinal cord or severs the nerve tracts that relay signals up and down the spinal cord.
The most common types of SCI include contusion (bruising of the spinal cord) and compression (caused by pressure on the spinal cord).
Other types of injuries include lacerations (severing or tearing of nerve fibers) and central cord syndrome (specific damage to the corticospinal tracts of the cervical region of the spinal cord).
Severe SCI often causes paralysis and loss of sensation and reflex function below the point of injury.
This can include autonomic activity such as breathing and other activities such as bowel and bladder control.
Other symptoms such as pain or sensitivity to stimuli, muscle spasms, and sexual dysfunction may develop over time.
SCI patients are also prone to develop other medical problems, such as bladder infections, lung infections, and bed sores.
Among persons under age 65, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of SCIs.
Among persons over 65, falls are the leading cause of SCIs.
