Spinal Cord Injury in Orlando, FL? Call Our Experienced Attorneys

A spinal cord injury can disrupt every aspect of your life. You may need surgery, experience chronic pain, or even suffer paralysis. Worst of all, your spinal cord injury may result from an accident that was no fault of your own. Spinal cord injuries are expensive to treat and may prevent you from working, creating financial hardship for you and your family.

 

The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC) estimates that nearly 18,000 Americans experience a spinal cord injury every year, with almost 80% of new cases being men. Auto accidents are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries, followed by falls, acts of violence, and sports activities.

 

An Orlando spinal cord injury lawyer can help you find the best path forward. At Farah & Farah know that suffering a severe accident can be confusing and frightening. Let us use our resources and experience to help you get the justice you deserve. Call us at 407-329-5054 to schedule a free, no-obligation case review.

Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

The National Institute of Health reports that over 90 percent of spinal cord injuries result from one of the following:

Car crashes: Car accidents cause 40 percent of spinal cord injuries. Reckless or negligent driving, including speeding, driving under the influence, or distracted driving, can lead to severe injuries.

 

Falls: Accidental falls—such as slip and falls—make up about 28 percent of spinal cord injuries. Falls are also the leading cause of spinal cord injuries for people 65 years and older.

 

Violence: The NIH estimates that violence—including knife and gunshot wounds—causes 15 percent of spinal cord injuries.

 

Sports: It is estimated that sports cause 8 percent of spinal cord injuries. Children and teens are at a higher risk of suffering spinal cord injuries from sports. High-impact sports, such as football, martial arts, and hockey, are among the leading activities that lead to injury.

If another person’s reckless or negligent actions caused your injury, you have the right to seek damages from the responsible party. You need an experienced Orlando spinal cord injury to help you get the justice you deserve.

Spinal Cord Injury Symptoms and Effects

A spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when the cells and nerves that relay signals from the brain to the body become damaged. This bundle of cells is so vulnerable that an accident can have temporary or permanent effects, including:

  • Numbness or tingling in your hands and feet
  • Problems walking
  • Pain in your back, neck, or head
  • Inability to move body parts
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Weakness in any part of the body
  • Bladder or bowel control problems

SCI victims may have an incomplete injury, meaning some signals transmit from the brain, or a complete injury, where there is no motor function below the injury site.
