Long-Term Effects of Spinal Cord Injury in South Dakota Car Accidents

One of the worst injuries that can occur as a result of a South Dakota car accident with a negligent driver is a spinal cord injury. These injuries can produce devastating and long-term effects for your family.

The spinal cord is approximately 18 inches long, extending from the base of your brain to your waist. It runs down the middle of your back, carrying signals from your brain to your limbs. Your spinal cord is an integral part of muscle movement, controlling your:
  • Arms
  • Core
  • Hands
  • Fingers
  • Toes
When you sustain a spinal cord injury in a South Dakota car accident , such as a severed spinal cord, you may permanently lose use or feeling in these body parts. This makes common, everyday activities, such as walking or riding a bike, impossible.

Not only do these catastrophic injuries yield a great initial cost in medical bills, missed time at work, and physical therapy, but also long-term costs. Your family life can be forever altered, as everyone feels the impact of the pain and emotional suffering that can easily emerge.

If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury as a result of an accident with a negligent driver, then you may be eligible to recover damages after the fact. The best way to learn more is to contact a lawyer for a free consultation about the details of your case.
