With so many tractor trailers on the road in Virginia, wrecks are an all-too-often occurrence. Unfortunately, many of the victims of these Virginia truck wrecks will suffer from spinal cord injuries.
The majority of spinal cord injuries are caused by the backbone pinching the spinal cord, resulting in it becoming bruised or swollen. On occasion, the trauma may result in the spinal cord becoming torn. After a spinal cord injury occurs, the brain can no longer send signals to the areas below the area of the injured spine.
Suffering a spinal cord injury due to a Virginia truck wreck can be a life-altering event. Many victims will suffer from:
- Loss of mobility
- Loss of employment
- Financial hardship
- Depression
- Chronic pain
- Fatigue
