Motorcycle Accidents and Spinal Cord Injuries
In 2007, over 100,000 motorcyclists were injured in accidents across the United States. Due to the severity of some motorcycle accidents, many injuries that motorcyclists sustain are severe and life changing. Spinal cord injuries are some of the most devastating injuries a motorcyclist can face. They can lead to a lifetime of pain, suffering and disability. If you or someone you love has sustained a spinal cord injury in a motorcycle accident, a Missouri motorcycle accident attorney can help you obtain the compensation you need to recover from your injuries.
A spinal cord injury is any injury to the delicate spinal cord of the back. Injuries to the spinal cord can lead to severe pain in the back, neck and extremities, partial loss of motion and sensation, and even permanent paralysis. Paralysis that affects the majority of the body, including the arms and legs is known as quadriplegia. Paralysis that affects only the lower portion of the body is known as paraplegia. The severity and duration of the paralysis depends entirely on the severity and location of the injury itself. Even if your spinal cord is not severed, a spinal cord injury can still be present and lead to chronic pain and disabilities.
