What are the different types of spinal cord injuries?

Long Island Spinal Cord Injury LawyersIf you are suffering from a spinal cord injury, please seek medical attention. If you suffered this injury as a result of another parties’ negligence, you can contact one of our specialized Long Island spinal cord injury lawyers here at Winkler Kurtz, LLP. 

There are three main types of spinal cord injuries:

  1. Complete Spinal Cord Injury: This is when the spinal cord is severed or totally damaged, resulting in paralysis from the injury site down.
  2. Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: This is when the spinal cord is damaged but not completely severed, which can result in varying levels of paralysis.
  3. Central Cord Syndrome: This is a type of incomplete spinal cord injury that affects the central part of the spinal cord. It results in weakness or paralysis in the arms and legs, but usually leaves the person with some degree of feeling and movement in their upper body.

There are also other less common types of spinal cord injuries, such as:

  1. Anterior Cord Syndrome: This is a type of incomplete spinal cord injury that affects the front part of the spinal cord. It results in loss of movement and feeling in the arms and legs, but often leaves the person with some degree of feeling and movement in their upper body.
  2. Brown-Sequard Syndrome: This is a type of incomplete spinal cord injury that affects the left and right halves of the spinal cord. It results in loss of movement and feeling on the opposite side of the body from the injury.
  3. Posterior Cord Syndrome: This is a type of incomplete spinal cord injury that affects the back part of the spinal cord. It results in loss of movement and feeling in the legs, but often leaves the person with some degree of movement and feeling in their upper body.
  4. Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: This is a type of spinal cord injury that is caused by physical trauma, such as a car accident or fall.
  5. Infectious Spinal Cord Injury: This is a type of spinal cord injury that is caused by an infection, such as meningitis or encephalitis.
  6. Demyelinating Spinal Cord Injury: This is a type of spinal cord injury that is caused by damage to the protective covering (myelin) around the nerves in the spinal cord. This can result in a wide range of symptoms, depending on which part of the spinal cord is affected.
  7. Spinal Cord Tumor: This is a type of tumor that can grow in or around the spinal cord. It can cause a wide range of symptoms, depending on which part of the spinal cord is affected.
  8. Spinal Cord Injury Due to Surgery: This is a type of spinal cord injury that is caused by a mistake or complication during surgery.
  9. Spinal Cord Injury Due to Medical Treatment: This is a type of spinal cord injury that is caused by a mistake or complication during medical treatment, such as a mistake during childbirth or a medication overdose.
  10. Spinal Cord Injury in Children: This is a type of spinal cord injury that is most often caused by a birth injury, such as being deprived of oxygen during birth. It can also be caused by a fall, car accident, or sports injury.

If you or someone you know has suffered a spinal cord injury, it is important to seek medical attention right away. The earlier the injury is treated, the more likely it is to improve. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for spinal cord injuries, but there are a number of treatments that may be options, depending on the type and severity of the injury. These treatments may include:

  1. Physical Therapy: This is a type of therapy that can help people with spinal cord injuries regain movement and function.
  2. Occupational Therapy: This is a type of therapy that can help people with spinal cord injuries regain independence in their everyday activities.

I cannot say enough about Rich and his staff. Everyone was more than accommodating from day one. You are treated like you matter, and not just another case for their firm. Rich offers advice every step of the way to get the most out of your case while still letting YOU choose which options are best. Coming from someone who has dealt with other attorneys, none compare to Mr. Winkler. His knowledge, and attitude are second to none. I would recommend Rich to anyone with an accident case. Believe me, you are in good hands. Thank you Rich and staff. Could not have asked for more!!

- Rob Pearsall

To Whom It May Concern, I’m a union painter and was badly hurt when I was involved in a workplace accident on a job site in Manhattan. I hired Richard Winkler to represent me and they have been great. He and his staff keep me informed and are making sure that I can continue to be able to feed my family and to keep everything going, they are on my side no doubt about it. Needless to say this didn’t go unnoticed to my family. Visiting the office was always a positive experience both welcoming and professional. I would recommend this firm to anyone in need of caring compassionate legal representation.

- Elissa Rand

The experience that I got from Richard Winkler was absolutely the best, In the beginning I was hesitant because you hear of bad stories about attorneys, but the turning point for me was when the most amazing, caring, person sat down and explained everything to me Mr. Winkler’s paralegal Dana Randazzo. This team answered all my phone calls handled all my paperwork in a quick manner there were never any surprises and they were on top of everything with the insurance companies and anything else associated to my case I highly recommend this law firm to anyone you will not be disappointed and I just wanted to say thank you for all that you have done for me Mr Winkler!
