Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

There are many ways that a person can suffer a serious spinal cord injury. Some of the most common causes include:

• Car accidents, especially in situations such as head-on collisions or T-bone accidents
• Truck accidents that occur when the driver of an 18-wheeler or other large commercial vehicle collides with other cars, trucks, motorcycles, or pedestrians
• Slip and fall accidents, with falls from a great height due to dangerous stairwells or missing railings being more likely to cause serious spine injuries
• Construction site accidents, which may involve falls from an upper level or being struck by falling objects or heavy equipment

Spine injuries can vary in severity depending on the location and type of injury. A "complete" spinal cord injury is one in which the victim suffers a total loss of function and sensation below the level of the injury. An "incomplete" spinal cord injury is one in which the victim experiences partial damage to the nerves in the spinal cord, which may result in chronic pain or partial paralysis.

Regardless of the severity, any spinal cord injury can have a major impact on a victim's life. Injuries to the spinal cord in the neck or upper back may result in quadriplegia/tetriplegia, which may cause partial or complete paralysis in all four limbs. Injuries at lower levels of the back can cause paraplegia, which may cause partial or complete paralysis in the legs and lower body. Even if an injury does not cause paralysis, it can lead to debilitating pain and restrictions on a person's range of motion and their ability to walk, sit, stand, and perform tasks at work or at home.
