Spinal Cord Injuries (SCIs) result mainly from direct trauma that fractures or dislocates vertebrae—the discs that stack up to form the backbone. The severity varies greatly depending on where along the spine the damage occurs, whether nerve cells were destroyed or compressed and what kind of care was given post-accident. Some symptoms might include loss of mobility or sensation, difficulty breathing and controlling bowel or bladder function.
There are two broad classifications: Complete SCIs where there is no sensation or motor function below injury level; It means both sides of your body are paralyzed—often referred to as total paralysis. Furthermore, there are Incomplete SCIs with some remaining sensory or motor function below affected area—this partial functional loss—is known as paresis.
Moreover, it’s worth noting four main types occurring after high-energy trauma like a severe fall or car accident:
• Anterior Cord Syndrome affecting body temperature regulation.
• Central Cord Syndrome causing loss of arm function predominantly.
• Posterior Cord Syndrome leading to poorly coordinated movements.
• Brown-Sequard syndrome which typically causes more pronounced issues on one side.
Apart from physical consequences, SCI patients endure significant psychological burden and social disruption too—for instance increased dependence on others due to limited mobility and self-care ability; having to adapt home/work environments; financial strain if unable to resume work at full capacity; sense of isolation because societal participation becomes challenging. Lastly but importantly heightened emotional challenges require holistic attention—from managing grief over lost abilities/autonomy, anxiety/fear around dependency/helplessness prognosis uncertainty—to striving for hope and resilience in coping.
At Carlson Bier, we believe that if these injuries result from another’s negligence or intent to harm—in traffic, sporting activities, workplace safety oversight, violent interactions—the guilty party must bear responsibility. Our experienced team can guide you through the legal intricacies of personal injury claims—liability identification to damage proofing—and strive to afford full compensation, covering medical bills/expenses related to therapy-rehabilitation-equipment alterations; lost wages (current-future); as well as non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.

Spinal cord injuries are commonly caused by traumatic events such as vehicle accidents, falls, sports injuries, and acts of violence like gunshot wounds. Medical conditions like arthritis, cancer, or infections can also lead to spinal cord damage.
Symptoms of a spinal cord injury can vary depending on the severity and location of the injury. Common symptoms include loss of movement, loss of sensation (including the ability to feel heat, cold, and touch), loss of bladder or bowel control, exaggerated reflex activities or spasms, changes in sexual function, pain or an intense stinging sensation caused by damage to the nerve fibers in the spinal cord, and difficulty breathing, coughing, or clearing secretions from your lungs.
The permanence of a spinal cord injury depends on the severity and type of injury. Complete spinal cord injuries, where all feeling and ability to control movement are lost below the spinal cord injury, have a lower chance of recovery. Incomplete injuries, where there is some motor or sensory function below the affected area, may allow for significant recovery. However, there is currently no cure for a spinal cord injury.
Immediate treatments for spinal cord injuries focus on minimizing further damage and include immobilization, surgery, and medications. Long-term treatment involves rehabilitation, which can include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and counseling to help with the emotional aspect of the injury. Technological advances such as exoskeletons, electrical stimulation devices, and ongoing research into cell regeneration and repair are also promising areas for treatment.
The impact of a spinal cord injury on daily life varies widely and depends on the severity of the injury. It can lead to reduced mobility or paralysis, requiring the use of wheelchairs or other assistive devices. It often necessitates modifications to living spaces, vehicles, and workplaces. Spinal cord injuries can also impact personal care, bladder and bowel management, and sexual health. Support systems, adaptive technologies, and rehabilitation can play significant roles in helping individuals lead fulfilling lives post-injury.
