What is a Spinal Cord Injury?
A spinal cord injury (also referred to as myelopathy or SCI) often entails the loss of feeling and mobility one experiences when the body’s spinal cord is lacerated due to a sudden blunt trauma. Moreover, the ensuing bleeding, swelling, and inflammation can make the damage worse over time. The most common type of spinal cord injuries are compression, involving excess pressure being applied directly to the spinal cord, and contusion, which involves the bruising of the spine. These serious life-affecting injuries are often brought on by accidents -most commonly motor vehicle accidents for those under the age of 65. Those over the age of 65 are more prone to suffering spinal lacerations due to falling accidents.
Spinal Injury Statistics
Sadly, every year, an estimated 11,000 Americans suffer a spinal cord injury. Among those individuals who have suffered serious spinal trauma, only 52% are covered by insurance at the time of injury. Many individuals do not receive the treatments they so desperately need. This is perhaps why 200,000 Americans still sustain long-term disability due to spinal cord injury. Individuals who've suffered this most grievous form of injury because of the wrongdoings of others deserve better. While the National Institute of Neurological Disorder and Stroke is working hard to ensure spinal cord injury can be alleviated in the future, you deserve justice now. If you've suffered SCI due to negligence or medical malpractice, you can always turn to Maryland spinal cord injury lawyers, Snyder & Snyder.
