Spinal injuries
Injuries to the spine can be extremely painful and result in permanent disability. Many spinal injuries are life-altering and can drastically change your daily routine. If someone else caused your suffering through negligence or malpractice, you deserve compensation for your injuries.
Car accidents are notorious for causing severe injuries and spinal damage, leaving drivers and passengers in need of surgery, pain medication, and physical therapy. The upper, lower, and mid-back area may be damaged as a result of a car accident. Additionally, the impact of the collision may cause compression fractures to the spine resulting in a permanent disability. Seattle personal injury attorneys may be able to help you if you suspect that someone else is responsible for your injury.
If you exhibit any of the following symptoms after a car accident, you may have suffered a severe spinal injury:
- Abnormal bowel or bladder control

Paraplegia
When the spinal cord suffers a severe impact or trauma, there may be impairment of the lower extremities. This condition, known as paraplegia, can be caused by serious car accidents. In addition to a loss of sensation and motor functions, there is also a loss or dysfunction of bowel and bladder movements and sexual functions. Paraplegia does not affect the arms.
Quadriplegia
Also known as tetraplegia, this condition is caused by injury or illness to the spine. Unlike paraplegia, this condition can result in paralysis of all of the limbs and also the torso. Depending on the severity of the injury, people who suffer from quadriplegia may even need help breathing because of damage done to the spinal nerves controlling the diaphragm.
