Spine Injuries and Paralysis
There were nearly 3,600 new records of spinal cord injuries entered into the National Spinal Cord Injury database from August 2023 to August 2024. Spinal cord injuries can cause partial or total paralysis when the spinal cord is compressed or severed. This damage can happen directly in an accident or be caused by different spine injuries like fractures or bulging disks.
Spine injuries may be incomplete and could potentially be improved through rehabilitation. This includes injuries when there are some functions below the place of the injury, such as either movement or sensation, or both functions. However, some spine injuries are complete injuries and will likely not heal. These are the injuries where there is a complete loss of sensation and motor function below the injury.
Causes of Spine Injuries and Paralysis
There are many incidents that can lead to serious spine injuries and even paralysis, including:
- Workplace injuries. There were 6,130 back injuries reported in California workplaces that affected the spine and spinal cord in 2020. More serious injuries like spinal cord damage are more common because of sudden accidents. This might include falls from higher levels, machinery accidents, vehicle collisions, structure collapses, and explosions.
- Truck accidents. Palm Springs is near I-10, one of the primary routes for commercial freight. The increase in commercial traffic also increases the risk of accidents involving these vehicles, especially on congested roads. In 2024, there were 11,625 fatal and nonfatal crashes involving commercial vehicles throughout California, resulting in 362 fatalities and nearly 5,200 injuries.
- Premises liability injuries. Falls are a frequent cause of spinal cord and spine injuries, especially when they are from a higher floor to a lower floor or occur in hazardous locations. Public or private property owners can be held liable for the injuries that guests suffer if the property owner failed to address or warn of a hazard.
