Oxnard Back & Spinal Injury Lawyers

Assisting the Victims of Life-Altering Injuries

Whether permanent or temporary, back and spinal cord injuries can be devastating and life-changing. Paralysis can occur when a back injury results in a fracture or dislocation of the spine that causes a spinal cord injury. Injuries of this type have no known cure and are permanent. They also lead to significant long-term care expenses that can be financially devastating to those who need to provide care to the injured parties.

Serious back injuries can occur in a variety of situations, such as:

Car or other vehicle accidents
Assault
Stab wounds
Direct blows to the back
Medical malpractice
Gunshot
Falls from great heights
Sports-related trauma and other causes

Less serious back injuries, however, can be temporary in nature. Healthcare workers suffer from a significant number of back injuries. One of the side effects of whiplash can be back injury. Whether you suffer temporary or permanent back or spinal cord injury, your best chance to defray the significant expenses arising from your injury is to speak to a spinal cord injury attorney in Oxnard, Santa Barbara, or Ventura about the possibility of bringing a lawsuit.

The injury attorney you choose should be knowledgeable about how spinal cord and back injuries are caused, and should also have a good understanding of spinal cord anatomy. In addition, and most important, your spine injury lawyer should have extensive experience in the valuation of cases similar to yours. Victims of serious back injuries can face substantial expenses for rehabilitation and need long-term emotional and psychological support.

Types of Spinal Cord Injuries

There are four sections of the spine and spinal cord that can be impacted. Where the injury occurs, however, is often the indicating factor of how serious the long-term damages will be.

Cervical spinal cord injuries occur closest to your neck, thus, most of the injuries to this part of the spinal cord result in quadriplegia, or the loss of function in all four limbs.
Thoracic spinal cord injuries occur just below the cervical spinal cord and it often results in individuals suffering paraplegia, or paralysis in your lower limbs.
Lumbar spinal cord injuries occur to the part of the spine that carries the most weight. These injuries can result in paraplegia, as well as trouble with hip and groin functionality.
Sacrum spinal cord injuries occur just above the tailbone. Those who suffer these injuries may not lose the ability to walk, but they may need help to do so, and it’s common to experience bowel and bladder control issues.

Types of Paralysis

There are a few different types of paralysis, each of them with the possibility of being complete or incomplete. Complete paralysis means complete loss of functionality while incomplete means there may be minor functionality left.

Monoplegia: Paralysis of one limb
Hemiplegia: Paralysis of one side of the body
Paraplegia: Paralysis of the lower limbs
Quadriplegia: Paralysis of all four limbs
