Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries in New Mexico
1. Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car, motorcycle, and truck crashes are the leading causes of spinal trauma. Even low-speed collisions can result in vertebral fractures, herniated discs, or spinal cord severance—especially when seat belts malfunction or the impact is severe.
2. Falls from Height or Slip and Falls
Spinal cord injuries can be sustained from falls coming from scaffolding, ladders, stairwells, and uneven sidewalks. Most traumatic injuries to the spinal cord come from falls amongst elderly and construction-type workers.
3. Workplace Accidents
Spinal injury is also very common in high-risk industries, including construction, oil and gas, and manufacturing, either through the falling of objects, heavy equipment accidents, or unsafe working conditions. In this regard, workers' compensation and third-party liability claims can be made.
4. Sports and Recreational Injuries
Spinal injuries of the cervical and thoracic regions may arise due to high-impact sports such as football, diving, skiing, and gymnastics; these include defective equipment, poor coaching, and unsafe playing environments.
5. Medical Malpractice or Surgical Error
It can be damaged during surgery, through misdiagnosis, or by a mistake with anesthesia. Cases involving SCIs and medical malpractice include a number of elements that must be investigated in detail to prove liability
6. Acts of Violence
Gunshot wounds, stabbings, or other violent assaults can cause permanent spinal cord injuries. In these cases, both civil personal injury lawsuits and criminal restitution may be available.
