Spinal Cord Injuries Can Result from South Dakota Car Wrecks

South Dakota car accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. Even if you are driving as safely as humanly possible, a negligent driver still can come out of nowhere. These costly wrecks often result in serious injuries and, in some cases, loss of life.

One of the worst injuries that you or a loved one can sustain in a South Dakota car wreck is a spinal cord injury. These injuries, which can result in permanent paralysis and loss of feeling in parts of your body, often take a huge toll on your life and the lives of your family members.

Your 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. The spinal cord is what allows you to move your arms, hands, feet, toes, and legs.

If your South Dakota car crash resulted in a spinal cord injury that severed your body's ability to send these signals, then you may not be able to perform many of the actions that you once took for granted, including:

Walking
Playing sports
Dancing
Riding a bike
Helping around the house
And more

If the accident that caused your spinal cord injury occurred as a result of a negligent driver who was drunk or distracted at the time, then the costs associated with your injury should not be yours to bear. You can earn financial compensation for your medical bills, ongoing care or physical therapy, lost wages or employment opportunities, and the very real pain and emotional suffering that goes along with these injuries.
