A spinal cord injury changes everything in an instant. One moment you’re driving, working, or walking down a street — the next, you’re in the hospital facing pain, fear, and uncertainty. These injuries often lead to partial or total paralysis, months of medical treatment, and lifelong financial strain. At Shaun Capps Injury Law, we help Birmingham families pick up the pieces after catastrophic accidents that cause spinal cord injuries.
What Causes Spinal Cord Injuries in Alabama?
Spinal cord injuries can result from almost any severe accident, but the most common causes include:
- Car and truck crashes — Rear-end or rollover accidents often cause direct trauma to the spine.
- Falls — Slips, trips, or falls from ladders and construction sites are a leading cause of spinal injuries in older adults and workers.
- Workplace accidents — Heavy machinery, unsafe scaffolding, or inadequate training can lead to devastating back and neck trauma.
- Medical malpractice — Surgical errors, anesthesia mistakes, or misdiagnosis can lead to spinal damage that could have been prevented.
Each of these cases requires a detailed investigation to prove negligence and secure the compensation victims deserve.
The Cost of Living With a Spinal Injury
Recovery isn’t just physical — it’s emotional and financial. Victims often face:
- Lifelong rehabilitation or physical therapy
- Medical devices and assistive technology
- Home or vehicle modifications
- Loss of income or the inability to work
- Chronic pain and emotional suffering
In severe cases, spinal injuries lead to quadriplegia or paraplegia, requiring 24-hour care. The lifetime cost of these injuries can exceed millions of dollars, making skilled legal representation critical to protecting your future.
