Spinal cord injuries can result from a wide variety of accidents. Some of the most common causes in Phoenix include nontraumatic factors such as diseases and infections that occur internally, in addition to external causes like:
Motor vehicle accidents (including car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle crashes)
Workplace accidents, especially in construction and industrial settings
Falls from heights
Acts of violence, including knife wounds and gunshots
Sports injuries
Medical malpractice, including surgical errors that damage the spinal canal
These incidents often result in spinal cord trauma that prevents the brain from communicating with the body, leading to paralysis, loss of mobility, and lifelong health complications.
Spinal cord injuries are tragically common and often life-altering. According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC):
Approximately 17,810 new spinal cord injury cases occur each year in the United States (not including those who die at the scene)
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause, responsible for 38.6% of all new spinal cord injuries
The average first-year cost for someone with high tetraplegia is $1,163,425, with lifetime costs potentially exceeding $5 million, depending on the age at injury and severity.
In Phoenix, where traffic volume and construction-related activity are consistently high, the risk of spinal cord injuries from motor vehicle accidents, falls, and workplace incidents is significantly elevated. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, there were 119,991 total crashes in Arizona in 2022, with 35,878 injuries, many of them severe or catastrophic. (ADOT 2022 Crash Facts Summary)
