Spine Injuries
If a person is involved in a serious auto, work, or personal accident, he or she may suffer injuries that can range from extremely minor bumps and bruises to long-term damage to important organs and bodily structures. Injuries to the head, neck, and spinal cord can be especially dangerous and can cause lifelong disability or death.
Spinal cord injuries are typically viewed as very serious, and an accident that affects even a small portion of the individual’s spine can cause paralysis, severe pain, and disability. If you have suffered a serious spine injury caused by someone else’s reckless or negligent actions, contact the Atlanta personal injury attorneys of Webb, Wade, Taylor & Thompson, LLC today at 770-631-1811.
Causes of Spine Injuries
Individuals may suffer serious spine injuries if they are involved in:
- Car accidents
- Falling objects
- Wet-floor / slip-and-fall accidents
- Truck accidents
- Surgical errors
Spine injuries are often categorized by their location and severity. Lumbar spine injuries are located at the base of the back, while thoracic spine injuries describe damage to the mid-back and shoulders. Cervical spine injuries are often the most damaging, and usually affect the neck.
Persons who suffer severe spine injuries in an accident may be eligible for compensation for pain, suffering, lost wages, medical expenses, and other damages. If you have been hurt due to someone else’s negligence or failure to provide a safe environment, it is wise to have an experienced personal injury attorney on your side.
