The human body is a marvel of evolution. In order to work properly, we need to protect it from injury. Unfortunately, accidents happen, and the body can become injured very easily. With the exception of a severe brain injury, no type of injury is as devastating as one to the spinal cord. Spinal cord injuries can lead to many catastrophic issues, including paraplegia and quadriplegia. If you have suffered an injury due to another’s negligence the experienced Louisiana spinal cord injury lawyers at Calahan Law can help you get the maximum compensation for your case.

Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries are more common than you think. In fact, more than 11,000 injuries to the spinal cord occur in the United States. In the state of Louisiana, like most of the country, the most common reason for spinal cord injury is auto accidents, but these types of personal injury can happen due to a number of reasons, including:

•	Accidents at school or on the playground

•	Falling from a balcony or platform

•	Playing sports, including football or rugby

•	Accidents on construction sites

•	Workplace accidents

•	Recreational activities, including boating or skiing

•	Falling while on public transportation

No matter how you receive a spinal cord injury, the results can be catastrophic and can lead to a lifetime of severe pain and financial burden. Some of the costs you can incur as a result of a spinal cord injury include extremely expensive medical bills due to surgeries and medication, rehabilitation costs and loss of income because you or a loved one cannot work. Add to this the mental strain a spinal injury brings and it can become overwhelming very quickly.
