Paraplegia and Quadriplegia Claims

Paralysis is the nightmare scenario for many people. When thinking about the catastrophic personal injuries that can result from a major accident, paralysis, whether partial or complete, is a distinct and tragic possibility. Paralysis is a lifetime condition and if affects every aspect of your life. The associated medical expenses are staggering, and even members of your family have to deal with the consequences.

To lose the use of a limb or multiple limbs or an entire hemisphere of your body is a tragedy. Paralysis often prevents you from working and earning a living, which makes pursuing all the compensation you are entitled to absolutely crucial.

Catastrophic Personal Injury Lawyers South BayOur lawyers have helped many clients who suffered paraplegia and quadriplegia, often as a result of a devastating auto accident.

  • Paraplegia is a condition that paralyzes your legs, the lower portion of your torso and the organs of the pelvic region.
  • Quadriplegia, on the other hand, refers to paralysis of all limbs. Victims lose both sensation and control of their limbs. Quadriplegia is also known as tetraplegia.
