Disability

When the spinal cord is damaged, impulses from the brain have difficulty or cannot travel below the level of the injury. Because the brain cannot transfer messages below the injury, the body may suffer severe loss of control or even total paralysis.

When the injury occurs at the neck level, loss of function may include full or partial use of the arms and hands. At any point on the victim’s back below the shoulder blades, the victim loses the ability to walk, and bladder and bowel functions become impaired.

Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Some of the most common causes of spinal cord injury that are related to negligence include:

• Falls
• Car accidents
• Sports injuries
• Gunshot wounds
• Construction and other workplace accidents

While no amount of money can compensate for the drastic lifestyle changes that spinal cord injury can cause, a skilled spinal cord injury attorney will fight to make sure you or your loved one is able to get the necessary funds to compensate for loss of independence and future income, as well as to provide for all necessary rehabilitation and support.

When injury is caused by an automobile accident, negligence on the part of the driver involved may be proven in court, as can faulty automobile design or defective parts. This is also the case with many other instances where the spinal cord is damaged: sporting facilities can be liable for failure to warn of hazardous conditions, and failure to abide by workplace safety standards makes the employer liable for disabling accidents that occur on the job.

Our experienced spinal cord injury attorneys will investigate all possible causes of the incident and fight to help you receive proper compensation. Our team of expert attorneys has a total of 100 years of combined experience serving the Bakersfield community.
