How Spinal Cord Injury Cases Differ from Kinds Cases of Malpractice

A spinal cord injury is one of the most serious injuries a patient can experience. Spinal cord injuries can occur due to medical malpractice, workplace accidents, falls, or as the result of a car accident. When an individual’s spinal cord is damaged, it often affects their motor abilities and quality of life. Spinal cord injuries can affect several systems across the body, as the nerves connecting to the spinal cord are responsible for several bodily functions. An injury to the spinal cord can cause a tingling sensation, reduced control of the limbs, loss of bowel/bladder function and loss of feeling in certain areas of the body. These injuries often require future medical care and medical costs.
