		Spinal cord injury is often the result of a severe impact or trauma to the body. Motor vehicle accidents, falls or medical mistakes cause the majority of spinal cord injuries. While the nature of the spinal cord trauma may be obvious, there is often a hidden cause of the accident. MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS: Whether or not there is any driver error, the vehicle manufacturer may be largely or fully responsible for your spinal cord injury. This is because the manufacturer may have designed or built a vehicle that did not protect its occupants. Examples: The vehicle may have rolled over because it was unstable (top heavy) Improper roof, windshield or door design of the vehicle may have allowed too much crush to occur Problems with, or the absence of, seatbelts or airbags in the vehicle may also cause spinal cord injury Defective tires have been known to come apart and cause accidents leading to serious injury There is also the possibility that the roadway was negligently designed or maintained. FALLS: Spinal cord injuries may also result from: Falls from ladders Swimming pool diving accidents Falls or crashes involving amusement park rides Many spinal cord injuries from these types of accidents are the result of poor design or faulty construction by a manufacturer. The manufacturer may be legally responsible for spinal cord injuries suffered by the consumer. MEDICAL MISTAKE: Examples of medical mistakes that may cause spinal cord injury: A baby suffering a lack of oxygen during pregnancy, labor or delivery Improper administration of anesthesia during surgery Delay in diagnosis and treatment of stroke or brain tumor
