Shivers Down the Spine Incidents That Could Lead to a Spinal Cord Injury Case
A spinal cord injury is a devastating condition for anyone, and unfortunately, these injuries impact more than 10,000 people every year. This injury can result in the loss of mobility and function as the cord that controls all your movements swells. These injuries can be pure accident, but as the following examples show, sometimes someone else is at fault for your pain. CAR ACCIDENTS Many spinal cord injuries result from vehicle accidents. When you get into a car crash, your entire body is jolted at a rate of speed it cannot withstand. Even minor crashes at low speeds can have a significant impact on your health. After a vehicle accident, you should always gather documents pertaining to the incident, find witnesses, take photos, get doctor’s notes, and find any other evidence that can verify what happened. SPORTS AND FALLS Sports can also cause spinal cord injuries. Equipment malfunctions, unsafe conditions, and dangerous playing arenas can often lead to these types of injuries. A faulty bungee strap or outdated ski lift is not your responsibility to fix or maintain. Your medical bills and suffering due to the company’s negligence shouldn’t be your responsibility either.
ACTS OF VIOLENCE Domestic-abuse victims sometimes think it is their fault they are being hurt. Even when a serious injury occurs, it can be difficult for them to realize the amount of danger they are in. Spinal cord injuries can be a very scary result of domestic violence. If someone is hurting you, there are organizations that can help. Visit DomesticShelters.org for safe locations in the Joliet area.
