September is Spinal Cord Awareness Month and many organizations and communities are working together to raise awareness about spinal cord injuries. Each year thousands of Americans experience a spinal cord injury. These injuries are devastating and can happen to anyone at any time.

Attorney Chad McLain of Graves McLain recently appeared on Good Day Tulsa to discuss ways to avoid a spinal cord injury.

Chad spoke about the main causes of spinal cord injuries including:

  • Motor Vehicle Crashes
  • Falls
  • Sports-Related Injuries

A spinal cord injury can happen due to an unexpected accident, so as a precaution please always be careful and try not to participate in high-risk behavior.

Chad explains one should, “be aware of the things that can cause spinal cord injuries. The same thing we talk about when preventing vehicle crashes can be done to prevent spinal cord injuries.”

  • Do not text and drive
  • Don’t drink & drive
  • Wear your seatbelt
  • Don’t speed
  • Don’t look down at your mobile device while walking or crossing the street

Due to advancements in medicine, some people with a spinal cord injury can live a somewhat normal life after physical therapy and treatment. But some cases are extremely severe making it difficult to fully recover from the injury, but it is important to know there is help out there.

  • My orthopedic doctor recommended Graves McLain Injury Lawyers, PLLC, to me following the need for revision hip surgery due to a hip from Stryker that was putting poison into my system. The doctor took care of the hip, and Graves McLain Injury Lawyers, PLLC, took care of the legal case. They were very thorough, professional, courteous, and always ready to answer the questions I had throughout the length of the case. In a word, the entire office is fantastic. I’m sure they were tired of my inquiries on the case’s progress, but they did not show it. They were always willing to respond and were very positive. If I ever have a claim in the future, they will be the first group to whom I reach out.
