About Spinal Cord Injuries And Falls

Falls occur commonly in the workplace, causing varying degrees of injury. Spinal cord injuries are among the most devastating, and can leave victims and their families to cope with a challenging change of circumstances. The most severe injuries result in limited mobility and reduced ability to maintain gainful employment.

In the course of the job, an employee might trip and fall downstairs or slip on standing liquid and fall, striking an object. On a construction site, workers may fall from a height or trip over debris. Resulting spinal cord injuries can range from a ruptured or slipped disc to fractured or dislocated vertebrae.

When the spine is impacted, extensive medical care is required, and it may be months before the full extent of the injury is known. Symptoms may include:

• Pain
• Nerve compression and numbness
• Varying degrees of weakness and paralysis, including loss of mobility and function
• Inability to walk (paraplegia)
• Loss of control from the neck or chest down, with an inability to use the arms and legs (quadriplegia)
