Spinal Cord Injury After an Accident in Kentucky: 3 Misconceptions

It is crucial to your health and quality of life that you make a thoroughly informed choice after your spinal cord injury from an accident in Kentucky. Contact a Jefferson County accident attorney who can help you protect your rights when the accident that causes your injury is someone else's fault.

The spinal cord delivers messages both from the brain to the body and back again, and an injury, even a minor one, can have a severe impact on someone's life.  

3 myths about spinal cord injuries: 

• Myth #1 - Spinal cord injuries are common only among the elderly. Not at all; on the contrary, spinal cord injuries are most common among young men ages 16 - 30.
• Myth #2 - Most spinal cord injuries are caused by falls. Wrong. Auto accidents are the leading cause of injuries to the spinal cord.
• Myth #3 - Like most other injuries, there's a cure for the damage done by a spinal cord injury. Unfortunately, there is not. Once the damage is done, its impact can be mitigated by treatment, physical therapy, long-term care, and sometimes surgery, but there is no cure. 

If you have suffered a spinal cord injury from an accident in Kentucky, speak with a Jefferson County accident attorney. Spinal cord injuries entail expensive and complicated procedures, and if the accident that injured you was not your fault, an attorney can hold liable the parties that contributed to your accident and your injuries.
