Spinal Cord Injury. Any type of severe trauma to the spine.

Each year spinal cord damage accounts for thousands of injuries. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there are 11,000 spinal cord injuries every year in the U.S. Sometimes disease causes spinal cord damage, but most cases result from some type of accident or injury. Spinal cord injury attorney Jay Murray discusses his experience representing spinal cord injury victims.

“A spinal cord injury can be really devastating to the victim and their family. Even though I interact with people that suffer from spinal cord injuries, I can hardly imagine what it is like to be incapable of walking or even feeding myself. I think people have a tendency to take for granted these commonplace tasks that are performed without even a second thought.”

The Jay Murray Law Group focuses on catastrophic injuries like spinal cord injuries.

The main causes of spinal cord injuries are car accidents, but falls, violent attacks and sports injuries are also common causes. We estimate that 52 percent of those with spinal cord injuries are paraplegic and 47 percent are quadriplegic. “Any type of severe trauma to the spine,” said Murray, “can cause it to fracture or can cause the dislocation of the vertebrae.” The bones in the spinal column comprise the vertebrae, which surrounds the spinal cord.
