Two Common Types of Spinal Injuries

Spinal injuries can happen in the blink of an eye. Sadly, in fact, they are often the result of sudden and unexpected accidents like car wrecks, falls from great heights, or construction accidents. Though the way in which a victim is specifically affected by a spinal injury will vary from person to person, there are two main categories of spinal injuries.

Our attorneys at Joe Miller Law are aware that far too many people in Norfolk are forced to face the serious consequences of a spinal injury due to the negligent actions of another person or party. In these situations, a victim and/or their family should consider taking legal action against the party responsible for causing the injury, as this can provide them with much-needed financial compensation and justice.

Two Types

There are, essentially, two primary types of spinal cord injuries, both of which can be extremely difficult to cope with. These two types are:

• Paraplegia
• Quadriplegia

These spinal injuries can be extremely damaging, and can have a significant impact on a person’s level of independence and general quality of life. Many victims of both paraplegia and quadriplegia suffer from total loss of independence, and are no longer able to take care of themselves. This can be both emotionally and financially damaging.
