Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries occur when the spinal cord is damaged, often as a result of trauma during surgery, improper medical procedures, or accidents. These injuries can lead to partial or complete loss of movement and sensation below the site of injury, significantly affecting the victim’s quality of life. In severe cases, spinal cord injuries may result in permanent paralysis, requiring lifelong medical care and rehabilitation.
Spinal cord injuries can stem from medical negligence, including improper surgical techniques, failure to diagnose or treat spinal conditions, or errors during medical procedures. Victims of spinal cord injuries may face long-term medical expenses, loss of income, and significant emotional and physical pain.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries can result from various forms of negligence, such as:
- Surgical Errors: Mistakes during back or spinal surgery can cause permanent damage to the spinal cord, leading to paralysis or other serious complications.
- Failure to Diagnose: Delayed or missed diagnoses of conditions affecting the spine can result in preventable injury or worsening of an existing condition.
- Medical Procedure Errors: Improper techniques during medical procedures, such as lumbar punctures or epidurals, can lead to spinal cord damage.
