Spinal Cord Injuries from Truck Accidents: Paralysis and Lifetime Care<\/h2>\n

A spinal cord injury happens when a crash hurts the nerve tissue inside your spine. A large-truck crash hits with huge force. That force can damage this tissue. The result can be permanent paralysis. It can also cause loss of feeling below the injury. These injuries change lives forever. Damaged spinal cord tissue does not grow back, unlike skin or bone.<\/p>\n

If you or someone you love is facing this, you have hard questions. What does the injury mean? Will there be recovery? What will care cost over a lifetime? This page answers those questions in plain language.<\/p>\n

Families in our catastrophic-injury cases tell us one thing. Clear, honest information helps them decide what to do next. We won’t promise a result. We will explain what really happens.<\/p>\n\n

When that huge weight hits a smaller vehicle, the force on the body is enormous. Car crashes are one of the most common causes of spinal cord injury, according to Mayo Clinic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A few crash types are very dangerous to the spine:<\/p>\n
