can you be paralyzed from a crushed vertebrate?


see my dad was in an accident n hes 24 hours away and we dont know much we just know he has to get surgery and we are like really scared thats why im wondering.. cuz i really dont want him parilized.
Best answer:
Unfortunately it can happen as the spine consists of vertebrates and if it is so damaged it includes a bad tear or break of the spinal cord or nerve carrying cord it could result in the parts of the body that require that nerve control being paralyzed I will pray for you all .
