Paraplegia Injury Lawyer in San Francisco

About Paraplegia Paralysis

Paraplegia is a medical term for impairment of the motor and sensory functions of the lower extremities.  It is a type of paralysis that is usually the result of a spinal cord injury or inflammation and swelling that happens at the point of the injury, which then adversely affects the nervous system and its ability to properly function.  Slip and fall injuries, car or truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, construction site accidents, swimming pool accidents and others, can all be the cause of a paraplegia injury.  If you or someone you love has paraplegia and you believe another's negligence to be the cause of the condition, at the Pacific Attorney Group we urge you to seek the aid of a competent and trustworthy San Francisco personal injury lawyer to assist you to receive the full compensation you and your family now need.

The effects of paraplegia are always serious and life changing.  Some with paraplegia are able to walk to a certain degree, but most must use wheelchairs or other supportive devices.  Impotence, incontinence and difficulty in breathing may all accompany the loss of sensory and motor functions in the affected limbs.  Understandably, the victim of paraplegia can become focused on the immediate injury and its affects and may not view all the changes that his or her life may undergo.  There are many physical, psychological and financial effects in the future that will need to be skillfully managed and this is an area where we can be of service to you.

Complications and Compensation

There are often times complications that accompany paraplegia, including pressure sores, pneumonia and chronic nerve pain.  These medical conditions will need to be addressed, as well as the means for paying these medical costs.  As a paraplegic you may now be unable to work or to care for your family and we feel you should not face this burden without help.  Future medical expenses and your future care needs must be properly addressed.

Due to an accident or the negligence of another, your life may have been changed forever.  You may have loved ones that are severely affected by the results of the accident or negligence.  Your pain and suffering should be fairly compensated and as much security and comfort given back to you as may be possible.
