The effects of a spinal cord injury can be devastating. At Siegfried & Jensen, our spinal cord injury attorneys have helped many victims obtain compensation for these tragic injuries. The sudden development of a severe disability can be frustrating, confusing, and frightening. According to the Mayo Clinic, about 11,000 Americans experience traumatic spinal cord injuries each year. Tragically, spinal cord injuries commonly affect every aspect of the victim’s daily life. When a spinal cord injury occurs as a result of the reckless or negligent actions of another party, the victim is entitled to compensation. If you have been diagnosed with a spinal cord injury, contact the attorneys at our office in the Salt Lake City, Utah area today and arrange a consultation and case evaluation.
The spinal cord is the column of nerve tissue that transmits messages between the brain and the rest of the body. Running through an oval shaped shaft in the bones of the spine (vertebrae), the spinal cord may become injured if the vertebrae are damaged or broken. A spinal cord injury reduces or destroys the conduit used by the brain to communicate with the body. When this occurs, the affected area of the body looses its ability to function properly, or at all.
The closer a spinal cord injury occurs to the head, the greater the portion of the body that will be affected. A complete spinal cord injury occurs when the affected area has lost all sensation and muscle control. Most of these injuries are not caused by severing the cord, but rather by bruising it. Paralysis can involve all four extremities —a condition called quadriplegia or tetraplegia — or only the lower part of the body — a condition called paraplegia. If you have suffered a spinal cord injury, contact the personal injury attorneys at our Salt Lake City, Utah-area office. You may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

Spinal cord injuries are generally classified as either traumatic or non-traumatic. A traumatic spinal cord injury may result from a sudden blow to the spine that fractures, dislocates, compresses, or crushes the vertebrae. A non-traumatic spinal cord injury may stem from cancer, arthritis, disk degeneration, or infection.
The most common causes of traumatic spinal cord injury are as follows:
