The complete loss of muscle function in one or more muscles is a medical definition of paralysis.  This can result in not only a loss of motor control, but a loss of feeling in the affected areas as well and can be permanent in nature.  Paralysis can be restricted to a certain area or limb of the body or can be more generalized throughout the body.  Violent motor vehicle accidents or even work-related accidents can all cause paralysis.  Common types of paralysis include paraplegia, which affects the lower limbs of the body, quadriplegia, in which the victim is unable to move all four limbs and partial paralysis, where an individual is unable to move one side of the body or a portion of it.  Whatever form of paralysis you may be faced with, we feel you deserve competent legal representation to aggressively work for your rights to proper treatment and care.

What is fair compensation?

There can be many causes for the accident that resulted in your paralysis.  Automobile, motorcycle and pedestrian accidents account for the majority of paralysis injuries.  As paralysis is always a serious injury, the question of what is fair compensation becomes very important for immediate medical care and for your future.  If your paralysis was caused by the negligence of another ,you may be able to file a lawsuit against the person or persons who caused the injury.  An experienced and knowledgeable attorney can assist you to figure out what compensation you need and deserve.

The first thing to consider is what the cost of your immediate medical care is and will be in the near future.  This can include operations, hospitalization and other costs.  Next may be long-term medical attention to assist you to get along in life or to perform rehabilitative services designed to help you regain - at least in part - use of the affected body parts.  Your paralysis may make you unable to return to work; lost wages until the time you would have retired can be awarded in some damages cases.  Due to the drastic life changes that many paralysis victims endure, pain and suffering damages are sometimes given to an individual who is now paralyzed.  Our job is to provide you the best opportunity possible to recover the damages you are due.
