Causes of a Spinal Cord Injury - Indianapolis Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

In an instant, an accident or incident can leave your spinal cord severely and permanently injured. Unfortunately, spinal nerves have a very low incidence of regrowth and full recovery. Situations in which a victim's spinal cord has been injured are very serious and can lead to a lifetime of medical care.

Our firm strongly believes in standing up for the rights of injured individuals, seeing that their legal rights are preserved and that they receive the proper medical care for their injuries.

Many different types of situations can lead to a spinal cord injury, such as:

• Car crash
• Trucking accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Boating accidents
• Product liability situations (including vehicle defects)
• Airplane injury (caused in a crash or other accident on a plane)
• Construction accidents (highway and construction projects, including accidents involving falling objects)
• Slip and fall (premises liability)
• Medical malpractice / negligence

Diving Injuries

One of the more common causes of spinal cord injuries is diving into a pool or other body of water and striking one's head. This can cause injury to the head, neck, and back, leaving the individual with permanent spinal cord damage. Many diving accidents are caused by negligence and should have been preventable.

Back and neck injuries stemming from accidents and incidents do not just impact your spinal cord. They can also affect your peripheral nerves, which can lead to a wide variety of symptoms.
