Spine Injuries & Ocala Car Accidents

Hiring a Car Accident Lawyer

How Spine Injury May be Related to a Car Accident

In a car accident, a driver or a passenger may be tossed violently against the seatbelt or steering column or may even be ejected from the vehicle. Spine injury may be sustained due to a forceful impact against the spine or as a result of violent motion of the back. In these cases, the vertebrae in the spine may be damaged or may shift, causing damage to the spinal cord. If the spinal cord is severely damaged or completely severed, full paralysis from that point downward will result.

The particular impact a spine injury may have on a victim will vary depending on the severity of the injury as well as the specific circumstances of the case.
