- Spinal Cord Injury
When it comes to enduring any type of accident where you end up suffering a bodily injury, the exact outcome and impact is going to depend largely on the factors surrounding your case. For instance, if you were to be the victim of an elevator accident that occurred because it was not up to code, and this was demonstrated appropriately according to the legal process, you would be entitled to compensation for the economic and possibly noneconomic damages you endured. Though no injury is ideal, each type comes with its own unique challenges. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX catastrophic personal injury lawyers discuss the damaging impact of neck injuries and the potential implications for liable parties.
Damaging Effects of Neck Injuries
It may only take one moment for an accident to change your life forever, and a neck injury is one that has the potential to do just that. Depending on the type of accident—such as if it were a vehicle wreck, slip and fall, or other scenario—severity of the injury, and several other factors, outcomes can range from minor strain to even permanent paralysis and possibly even death. Because the severity of this situation can vary so greatly, it is wise to immediately seek medical attention following an accident, even if you do not think you are seriously hurt.
The neck bones and spine house the spinal cord, and as such, the location and severity of the damage can have a major impact on the type and permanency of damage endured. For example, if a person’s neck has been fractured in one or more of the seven main vertebrae, and the spinal cord has been damaged, paralysis and even death may result. After you have sought medical attention, dial a trusted personal injury attorney and ask about your right to compensation.
A Basis of Negligence
If an accident results in a serious jolt or causes a person to jerk their head, they may endure a whiplash injury. Some examples where this may occur can include a car, truck, or other motor vehicle accident. When a person becomes injured as a result of another person’s carelessness—as a result of reckless driving or failing to maintain a safe property where a duty was owed, to list a few examples—in the state of Texas, they may have a right to compensation.
