Matthew D. Dubin has handled all types of spinal cord injuries during his 20-plus years of legal practice. Understanding your specific injury helps determine appropriate compensation and treatment needs.
Doctors classify spinal cord injuries as complete or incomplete. Complete injuries cause total loss of sensation and movement below the injury site, often resulting in paralysis. Incomplete injuries preserve some sensation or movement, as the spinal cord sustains only partial damage. This classification directly impacts quality of life and compensation needs.
Cervical injuries affect the neck and seven upper vertebrae (C1-C7). These rank among the most serious, potentially causing quadriplegia or death. Car accidents commonly cause whiplash, leading to nerve damage and chronic pain. Even minor neck injuries can permanently affect work ability and daily activities.
The thoracic spine contains twelve vertebrae (T1-T12). Injuries here typically cause paraplegia, which affects the lower body while preserving arm function. High-impact accidents like falls or motorcycle crashes damage this area. Victims lose sensation and movement in their legs, as well as bowel and bladder control.
Lumbar injuries affect five lower vertebrae (L1-L5), causing varying paralysis in the hips, legs, and feet. Victims may lose leg function and bladder control while experiencing chronic pain. Workplace accidents, falls, and auto collisions commonly cause these injuries.
The sacral spine comprises five fused vertebrae (S1-S5) near the pelvis. Though less severe than other injuries, sacral damage still creates significant impairment, including leg weakness, bowel dysfunction, and sexual problems.
Disc injuries damage the soft cushions between vertebrae. Common types include ruptured, herniated, and bulging discs. These injuries cause severe pain, sciatica, nerve compression, and numbness in the arms or legs. Auto accidents, workplace injuries, and falls commonly cause disc damage. Some require surgery and can lead to permanent disability.
Spinal fractures break vertebral bones that protect the spinal cord, ranging from compression fractures to severe burst fractures. High-impact trauma causes these breaks, potentially resulting in immediate paralysis or chronic instability. Treatment often requires surgery, spinal fusion, or long-term rehabilitation.
Severe spinal injuries cause unbearable pain that disrupts sleep, triggers depression, and interferes with every aspect of life. You deserve compensation not only for lost function but also for endured pain. Full compensation covers current and future medical costs, including medication, therapy, and specialized care.
Whether you suffered whiplash in a car accident, spine damage from a surgical error, or back injury as a pedestrian or cyclist, you deserve justice.
