A spinal injury refers to any type of injury that affects the spinal cord, which is a bundle of nerves that runs from the brain down the back and controls the movement of the body. Spinal injuries can range from minor injuries, such as a sprained back, to more severe injuries, such as paralysis.

Spinal injury negligence involves failure of a healthcare professional to provide appropriate care to someone with a spinal injury, which results in harm to the patient. This can include misdiagnosis, failure to properly treat spinal injuries.
