After a Back Injury or Spinal Cord Injury in Massachusetts, Contact an Attorney at Dane Shulman Associates, LLC
Any back injury can result in significant pain, disability and expense. Someone with a serious back injury may be unable to walk, may experience ongoing chronic pain, and may be unable to work. Other people with back injuries must rest for a period of time, but eventually heal and return to normal function.
An injury to the spinal cord is, of course, very serious and may result in paraplegia or quadriplegia, depending on where on the spine the injury happened. The higher the location of the spinal cord injury, the more catastrophic the injury is likely to be. Someone with a "minor" injury may have a bruised and swollen spinal cord, but may heal over time as the bruising and swelling subsides.
Common causes of spinal cord injuries include the following:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Workplace accidents
- Serious falls
- Violent attacks, including shootings
- Lifting accidents
- Repetitive lifting and twisting
An accident victim and his or her family will undoubtedly experience significant hardships. A back injury will need time to heal. Back surgery may be necessary. A spinal cord injury is likely to result in long-term disability of an extreme kind. Even a "lucky" spinal injury victim — who may heal over time — will have enormous medical bills, require ongoing therapy (physical therapy, occupational therapy, perhaps psychological counseling) and will be unable to return to work for a long time, if ever.
