Symptoms of Spinal Cord Injuries

The severity of spinal cord injuries varies, resulting in complete loss of sensation and limb control (total injuries) or discomfort with partial limb control (incomplete injuries).

Loss of movement or altered sensation
Impaired bowel or bladder control
Reflex activities, spasms, or intense pain

Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries encompass several classifications, each with distinct repercussions. Injuries directly impacting the cervical spine (vertebrae C1-C7) can result in full or partial paralysis and sensory loss. Remedying such conditions often involves surgery followed by intensive occupational and physical therapy.
Thoracic spine injuries (vertebrae T1-T12) can cause mid-back pain, abdominal discomfort, chest issues, and breathing difficulties. Severe cases may lead to paralysis in the abdomen, legs, or lower back.
Lumbar spinal injuries, typically from lower back impacts (e.g., vehicle accidents or falls), can cause leg or hip immobility, affecting bowel/bladder functions and necessitating wheelchair use.
Sacral spinal injuries affecting the tailbone can disrupt pelvic organ control, sexual functions, and bowel/bladder management—usually arising from falls on hard surfaces.
Our skilled spinal cord injury lawyers in Edmonton and Alberta can handle your claim if you suffer from these injuries due to negligence. This way, you can focus on your recovery.
Accidents Leading to Spinal Cord Injuries
Various accidents can result in spinal cord injuries, including car/truck crashes, bicycle/motorcycle/scooter accidents, workplace mishaps, and slip-and-falls.
Car and truck accidents, increasingly prevalent in Alberta, often cause injuries due to traffic violations, distracted driving, or driving under the influence. Impact forces within vehicles or ejections can lead to spinal cord injuries.
Bicycle/motorcycle/scooter accidents, with minimal protection, pose risks to riders. Even with helmets, spinal injuries can occur upon impact with the ground.
Slip-and-falls, whether outdoors (on ice or snow) or indoors (due to spills), can lead to spinal injuries if the victim lands forcefully.
