Paralysis Attorney

Paralysis is a nervous system condition that occurs when brain communication is disrupted resulting in a loss of use of all or a portion of the body. The two common terms used include paraplegia (inability to move lower extremities) and quadriplegia, or complete inability to move upper and lower portions of the body. Paralysis can be both temporary or permanent.

Spinal cord injury victims are also at risk of developing other problems related to paralysis, such as bedsores, urinary tract infections, and pneumonia, and may require long term care.

Those who suffer paralysis as the result of another party's negligence or intentional recklessness may be able to recover damages. It is important to contact a personal injury attorney, and not to accept the first settlement offer from the responsible party's insurance company, because additional time may be needed to assess the full scope of injuries and recovery. Contact an attorney who can represent your interest as soon as possible.
