An injury to a person’s sacral spine affects the triangular region between the tailbone and underneath the lumbar region of the spine. The sacral spine controls a person’s pelvic organs, and these organs control an individual’s sexual functions, bladder functions, and bowel functions.
An individual who suffers an injury to their sacral spine in a severe accident may no longer move their hips or legs. Although injuries to the sacral spinal cord are somewhat uncommon, a direct impact into this region of the body, such as in a slip and fall accident where the accident victim lands on this area, can result in a sacral spinal cord injury.
If you or a person you love has suffered one of these spinal cord injuries in an accident that someone else brought about, you may have a basis to file a claim for monetary damages. In some cases, if the insurance company is unwilling to fully and fairly compensate you for your injury, you may need to file a lawsuit and take the case to court. The experienced Lawrenceville spinal cord injury attorneys at Brauns Law Accident Injury Lawyers, PC welcome the opportunity to litigate your personal injury case and help you pursue the compensation that you deserve.
