Complete and Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries
Depending on how a person is injured, a spinal cord injury may be identified as either “complete” or “incomplete.” If the injury is “complete,” the injured person will have no sensation or movement below the location of the injury. A complete spinal cord injury will result in paraplegia or quadriplegia, depending on the location of the injury on the victim’s spinal cord. A person with an incomplete SCI will have some feeling or movement below the location of the injury, but it may be extremely limited. All spinal cord injuries, however, are considered to be very serious and require immediate medical care.
Financial Recovery for Spinal Cord Injuries
An injury to the spinal cord due to a traumatic auto accident, slip and fall accident, construction accident, or act of violence can be devastating and cause permanent damage. If you or a family member has suffered a spinal cord injury, you may be entitled to substantial monetary compensation for your pain and suffering as well as costs and expenses associated with:
•Emergency medical treatment
•Rehabilitation
•Physical therapy
•Surgery
•Medical exams
•Prescription medications
•Living modifications
•Long term care
•Lost wages
Emotional and psychological care is also important following a spinal cord injury. A person with a spinal cord injury may experience post traumatic stress disorder, phobias, anxiety, depression and overwhelming feelings of sadness, frustration and anger.
