Generally, spinal cord injuries are severe and alter the life of the injured construction worker, as well as their loved ones. If you or someone you know has suffered a spinal cord injury in a construction site accident, you may be entitled to monetary damages which can help compensate for your losses and ease the burden of a spinal cord injury.

The spinal cord is responsible for motor control and sending sensory signals to most of the body’s muscles, including almost every voluntary muscle beneath the head. Damage to the spinal cord typically occurs after a traumatic blow compresses, fractures or dislocates a vertebra. Those who suffer incomplete spinal cord injuries may retain some degree of sensation and control, while complete spinal cord injury victims will suffer a full loss of function beneath their point of injury.

Any construction worker in New York who suffers a spinal cord injury at work is at risk for lifelong disabilities, such as quadriplegia. Many construction workers with spinal cord injuries never fully recover and incur life-changing effects as a result of their injuries. In many cases, it may be impossible for the injured victim to return to work in the construction field or earn the wages they are accustomed to making.
