Spinal Cord Injuries
A motor vehicle crash can permanently alter a person’s life. This is especially true in the case of crashes that cause spinal cord injuries. The spinal cord is responsible for communication between the brain and nerves, and plays a vital role in allowing many of the physical functions that we take for granted throughout the course of our daily lives. Injuries to the spinal cord can dramatically interfere with these abilities and can have an adverse effect on one’s social, emotional, and financial health.
If you have suffered a spinal cord injury in a car accident that was caused by another party’s negligent actions then you may be able to obtain financial compensation through a civil lawsuit.

The Effects of Spinal Cord Injuries
The severity of a spinal cord injury depends upon a number of different factors, most notably the point on the spine at which the damage is inflicted. Though rehabilitation and continued medical treatment may help to alleviate some ill effects in cases of lesser injury, the harm is typically irreversible. The effects of spinal cord injuries may include:
- Partial paralysis (paraplegia)
- Total paralysis (quadriplegia)
- Loss of bowel and bladder control
- Loss of sensation
- Compromised motor control
- Impairment of independent breathing function
If you or a member of your family has suffered a spinal cord injury in a car crash, you may have grounds for legal action against the party responsible. Our Racine motor vehicle accident attorneys can help you as you fight for justice.
