When Texas Truck Accidents Cause Spinal Cord Injuries

A spinal cord injury can alter a person’s life forever. The function of the spinal cord is to control the movement of the body. When the spinal cord experiences trauma, the injury can impair a person’s ability to move and feel sensation. Severe spinal cord injuries often lead to permanent incapacitation. It is common for people who suffer a complete spinal cord injury to lose all ability to control their movements below the site of the injury.

Car accidents are a leading cause of spinal cord injuries among people under age 65.* The cost of treating spinal-cord patients amounts to billions of dollars each year. In the most severe cases, a spinal cord injury requires lifetime medical treatment and rehabilitative therapy. A spinal cord injury also causes less severe problems, such as urinary tract infections, pressure sores, and respiratory problems.

Have you suffered a spinal cord injury in a Houston auto or truck accident? If someone else caused the crash, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact a Houston auto accident attorney at Denena & Points. Call 713-807-9500 or 877-307-9500 for a free consultation.
