Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries

A spinal cord injury can turn your life upside down in an instant. These are among the most serious injuries a person can suffer. They often happen from car crashes, slip and fall accidents, sports accidents, and violence.

Spinal cord injuries can cause:

• Partial or complete paralysis
• Chronic pain that never goes away
• Loss of sensation in parts of your body
• Life-changing complications that affect everything you do

The medical bills pile up. Your income stops. Your family struggles. But you don’t have to face this alone.

Georgia Spinal Cord Injury Laws and Compensation

Georgia uses a “modified comparative negligence” rule for personal injury cases. Here’s what that means:

If you share some blame for your injury, your payment gets reduced by your percent of fault. For example, if you’re 20% at fault, you get 80% of the total.

Important: If you’re 50% or more at fault, you get nothing. That’s why strong legal help is critical.

Our team at Bourne Law Firm knows Georgia law and will build a strong case that maximizes your compensation.

Most Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries happen in many ways. According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, the most common causes are:

Vehicle Accidents

Car crashes, motorcycle accidents, and collisions with bicycles or pedestrians are the #1 cause of spinal cord injuries. These accidents cause major trauma to the spinal column, resulting in severe, life-changing injuries.

Falls

Slip and fall accidents are a major cause of spinal cord injuries, especially for older adults. Common fall scenarios include:

• Slipping on wet surfaces
• Tripping on uneven ground
• Falling from ladders, roofs, or stairs

The impact can cause fractures, dislocations, or compression of the spinal cord that leads to permanent disability.

Violence

Gunshot wounds and stabbings can result in spinal cord injuries. The force or penetrating object can damage or sever the spinal cord, causing loss of function below the injury.

Sports and Recreation

High-impact sports like football, diving, skiing, and gymnastics can lead to spinal cord injuries. These often involve falls, collisions, or sudden impacts that damage the spine.

Medical Errors

Sometimes spinal cord injuries happen during medical procedures or surgeries due to:

• Errors in anesthesia
• Improper patient positioning
• Surgical mistakes
