NEW YORK SPINAL CORD INJURIES

Spinal cord injuries can be career-ending for New York construction workers.

The spinal cord carries sensory signals and motor control to most of the skeletal muscles in the body. It controls nearly every voluntary muscle in the body below the head. A New York spinal cord injury may result from a traumatic blow to the spine that fractures, compresses or dislocates one or more vertebrae. Complete spinal cord injuries result in total loss of function below the point of the injury, while an incomplete spinal cord injury leaves some degree of sensation and control intact. Any New York construction worker who suffers a spinal cord injury on the job faces the possibility of lifelong disabilities, including paraplegia or quadriplegia. Many spinal cord injuries have life-changing effects on injured construction workers. It may be impossible for the injured victim to resume work in the New York City construction industry, and the costs of medical care can be staggering.
