Angleton, TX spine injuries that result in paralysis

Hurt in an Angleton, Texas accident that resulted in a serious spine injury? One of the most dreaded side effects of a spinal cord injury in Angleton is full or partial paralysis. As Houston personal injury attorneys, we see these devastating types of injuries and the effects they have on families all the time.

What causes paralysis in a spinal cord injury?

Injuries to the spinal cord are serious because the spine carries information from the brain to the extremities, vital organs, muscles and tissues, giving us the ability to move and feel and essentially to live. When the nerves of the spinal cord are damaged, the parts of the body controlled by those nerves can suffer – and paralysis can result.

Paralysis is the inability to move a part of your body. There are a variety of ways that the spine can be injured and lead to paralysis. Some of these include:

• Trauma from a car, motorcycle or truck accident
• Sport-related injuries
• Falls from a ladder, scaffold, or other high structure
• Damage from heavy workplace machinery
• Penetrating injury like gunshot or stab wound
• Secondary damage from swelling, bleeding or inflammation after a primary injury

How long does spinal cord injury paralysis last?

Depending on the severity and location of your injury, your paralysis can last for a short time, a long time, or for the rest of your life. You can also be completely paralyzed and unable to move, or only one or two parts of your body may be affected. Fortunately for some victims, the damage to their spine heals or the disease or condition causing paralysis goes away and they regain use of their body. However some accident victims may be left with lifelong struggles, medical bills and disabilities after a serious spinal cord injury.
