Paraplegia Injury

The human spine is highly complex and forms part of the central nervous system. It is what allows the brain to communicate with the rest of the body.

When a person suffers a spinal cord injury, information that is travelling along the spinal nerves below where the injury has taken effect gets partially cut off from the brain. The body will still attempt to send messages to the brain from below where the injury is and the brain will be trying to send messages downwards to the muscles in the body, known as your motor muscles. All of these messages will end up getting blocked by the damage that has been caused to the spinal cord.

Paraplegia affects your legs and causes loss of sensation and motor function and in extreme cases it can also go further and cause damage and dysfunction of the bladder/bowel.

Paraplegia occurs when force has been applied to the spinal cord, such as the impact of a road traffic accident. It is the result of the spinal cord becoming highly damaged. Although it takes a large amount of strength and force in order to damage the spinal cord, it sadly happens in a lot of personal injury accidents.

Personal injury accidents describe aspects such as motorcycle accidents, road traffic accidents, public place accidents or work place accidents. It is any accident that occurs through no fault of your own and leaves you facing personal injury, which includes paraplegia.

A personal injury accident such as paraplegia can cause a high impact on your life. It would put an end to your career, leave you out of work as well as turn your life upside, leaving you to adjust to your new life. Becoming the victim of a personal injury accident resulting in paraplegia would change your life forever merely because another person was negligent.
