How Spinal Cord Injuries Happen

Serious traffic crashes are a major cause of spinal cord injuries. Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Transportation shows that from January 1 to August 24, 2025, 577 people were killed in Missouri traffic crashes. Catastrophic injuries like spinal cord damage are often involved in the incidents that lead to fatalities.

On busy routes like Interstate 44 and U.S. Route 65, high-speed collisions can put enormous force on the neck and back. We also see spine injuries caused by:

  • Truck accidents
  • Motorcycle crashes
  • Falls from heights
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Workplace accidents

Your Springfield spinal cord injury attorney at Aaron Sachs & Associates can investigate the accident you were hurt in and gather the evidence required to hold the at-fault party liable for your injuries, pain, and financial losses.

How Our Team Will Support Your Spinal Cord Injury Claim

If you’ve suffered a serious spine injury, you’re facing medical appointments, paperwork, and insurance calls, all while you’re still learning to manage daily life. Our Springfield spinal cord injury lawyers at Aaron Sachs & Associates will take a load off your plate during this stressful time by:

  • Investigating how your injury happened
  • Gathering and organizing your medical records
  • Working with physicians to determine what your future care needs are and how much they’ll cost
  • Handling every conversation with the insurance company
  • Explaining each step of the process to you in plain language

Insurers may do everything they can to reduce what you receive after an accident. They may attempt to entice you with an early settlement offer that won’t cover your losses or try to get you to say something that hurts your case. We’ll protect you from these dishonest tactics and push for a payment that truly meets your needs.

Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries

The spinal cord carries signals between the brain and the rest of the body, so damage to it can affect movement, sensation, bladder and bowel control, and even breathing. Our Springfield spinal cord injury attorneys at Aaron Sachs & Associates can handle cases involving either of the following classifications of spinal cord injuries:

  • Complete injuries: All communication between the brain and the body below the injury is cut off, which often leads to permanent paralysis.
  • Incomplete injuries: Some sensation, movement, or function remains below the injury, though it may be limited.

Neck Injuries

Neck injuries, including whiplash, are often extremely painful and can lead to lasting complications. In severe cases, they may even be debilitating, preventing victims from returning to work or simply enjoying the same qualify of life they once had.

If you suffered a neck injury due to someone else’s careless, reckless, or wrongful conduct, you have the right to take legal action. To file a personal injury claim or lawsuit, you will need to prove that the other person or party was at fault for the incident that caused your neck injury (with some exceptions).

This could be the case if your neck injury was caused by:

Essentially, if someone else was to blame, you could be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and related damages—including pain, suffering, and other non-economic losses.

You could also be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits if you suffered a neck injury on the job or because of your working conditions. You do NOT need to prove that anyone, including your employer, was negligent to file a workers’ compensation claim; simply proving that your neck injury is work-related is enough. We recommend that you work with an experienced attorney, like the Springfield neck injury attorneys at Aaron Sachs & Associates, P.C., who can help you navigate this process and ensure that you do not miss any filing deadlines or make any mistakes that could jeopardize your claim.

How Much Is a Neck Injury Claim Worth?

There are many factors that influence the value of your neck injury claim.

Some of these include:

  • The severity of your injury and its impact on your life
  • The cost of your medical bills and related expenses
  • Whether you had to take time off work
  • How long you were out of work and the value of your lost wages
  • Whether you suffered permanent disability or impairment
  • Your degree of fault in causing your injury (if any)
  • The amount of insurance coverage available
  • Whether or not your case proceeds to trial

Because of these many factors, it is impossible to accurately determine how much your neck injury claim might be worth without first reviewing the specific details involved. That being said, many injured victims are able to recover certain types of damages, including all past, current, and future medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. You might also be entitled to compensation for lost earning ability, diminished enjoyment of life, and other economic and non-economic damages.
