Bulging Discs Resulting from Tractor-Trailer Truck Accidents
Spinal Injuries
Herniated Discs can can ruin your life. Undoubtedly, the back is of vital importance and often an injury to our backs can cause a wide range of other problems too. Many people have unfortunately been involved in 18-Wheeler collisions
18-Wheeler crashes which have left them severely injured. In some cases, some have even had to give up their careers as the pain is too much to bear anymore. In these cases, it is essential that justice is gained and compensation is sought after, if not just to be reimbursed mentally, but physically too.
Damage to the spine is possibly one of the worst physical injuries that anyone could possibly suffer. Our spinal cord is is the most important structure which allows us to move our body. As an example, remember Christopher Reeve, who after a tragically being thrown from his horse in a competition was a quadriplegic for the rest of his life. It is for people like Christopher Reeve that Tractor-Trailer and truck accident lawyers do their work, because anybody who has to face drastic life adjustments such as this one is entitled to some form of compensation from the person at fault.
Most people do not realize the lack of force it takes to serious injure the spinal cord. In fact, a disc can herniate just by a person twisting to quickly. Therefore, it becomes easy to understand why tractor-trailer crashes can cause such serious back injuries. Semi-Trucks themselves are extremely large and carry an extreme amount of weight. Couple that with an attached trailer and cargo, and they become wrecking machines carrying more force than anything else on the road. Moreover, many tractor-trailer collisions occur because a semi-truck hits the car from behind. This causes the driver of the car in front to be snapped back and forth which causes severe trauma to the spine. When that happens in conjunction with the forces exerted by a huge tractor-trailer, it is a disastrous combination for the spine and spinal cord.
Many people realize the seriousness of a diagnosis involving a spinal cord injury, but not as many people realize just how many types of spinal cord injuries there are and how they can affect us ? each in very different ways. One of the more serious spinal cord injuries- the same injury suffered by Christopher Reeve- is a Cervical (neck) Spinal Cord injury. It causes paralysis or weakness in both the arms and the legs and is known as quadriplegia. A Thoracic (mid back) Spinal Cord injury causes paralysis or weakness of the legs, as well as a loss of physical sensation in the organs such as the bowel and the bladder. An injury to the cord in the Lumbar Spine can result in pain, numbness or tingling throughout the legs. And finally, a Sacral Spinal Cord Injury mainly causes loss of bowel and bladder functions and has also been known to cause weakness or paralysis of the hips and legs.
Severe injuries to the spinal cord can severely change lives and for many people, and hearing the diagnosis of such an injury can trigger a wide range of emotions. If you have suffered from a spinal cord injury from a Truck Crash, it’s time you gained the compensation you are entitled to. Although it will not reverse your injuries, it may be able to provide you with some closure and comfort in the fact that justice was finally brought to the person who caused you harm.
