Spine injuries occur when the spinal cord or the nerves attached to it are damaged. These injuries often occur as a result of a degenerative disorder, disease, or trauma. They are catastrophic injuries with a long-lasting impact on the life of the injured victim as well as their families. These injuries often result in paralysis, numbness, or loss of feeling or motion in the extremities. They are often associated with long periods of hospitalization, surgery, medical equipment, rehabilitation, loss of wages, and the need for in-home care.

Common Types of Spinal Cord Injuries

The New Jersey spinal cord injury lawyers at The Law Offices of Harold J. Gerr have represented accident victims with different types of spinal cord injuries. Some of the most common types of spinal cord injuries we’ve encountered include:

Complete spinal cord injuries

These injuries mean that the victim experiences paralysis in the parts of the body that lie below the location of the injury. The spinal cord is so badly damaged that it cannot function properly. This type of injury can also result in blood circulation problems.

Incomplete spinal cord injuries

These injuries result in some loss of function to the parts of the body below the site of the injury. The victim may retain some feeling or movement in these parts of the body. However, they may also lose function in some parts. For example, the victim may be able to feel and walk with their right leg but may have lost all function in their left leg.

Transverse myelitis

This is a type of condition that results from inflammation affecting the spinal cord. The condition occurs when the inflammation causes damage to the fatty layer that insulates the nerve cell fibers i.e. the myelin. Scars can form on the spinal cord resulting in interruptions in communication between the spine, the nerves, and other parts of the body. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to manage this condition.
