Spinal Cord Injury as the Result of a Serious Florida Accident (Part B)Complete and Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries Spinal cord injuries fall into one of two categories: complete and incomplete. If a person experiences a complete spinal cord injury, he or she will lose all feeling or movement below the site of the injury. In the case of an incomplete spinal cord injury, a person may still experience some sensation or be able to move his or her limbs below the injury site. Seeking Compensation to Treat Spinal Cord Injuries A spinal cord injury can occur any time there is a blunt force trauma to your spinal column. Injuries may occur because of vehicle accidents, falls, work-related accidents, sports injuries, and assault. Diseases such as spina bifida can also lead to spinal cord injuries. Though there is currently no cure for a spinal cord injury, medical advancements have allowed for numerous treatment options, including various types of therapy. In addition, you may be able to make modifications to your home and vehicle to facilitate your disability. Unfortunately, the treatment of a spinal cord injury and the adjustments to life with such an injury can be quite costly. Lifetime future care can exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars even millions of dollars in many cases in a victim's lifetime. If your spinal cord was damaged because of another person or negligent company, you may have the ability to file a Florida personal injury claim to recover compensation for your injuries.
