Lawyers for Injuries Causing Paralysis
The consequences of paralysis can be far reaching, and can cause financial, emotional, and physical issues for the victim. Often injuries resulting in paralysis are the result of another person’s negligence or recklessness, either through a motor vehicle accident, slip and fall accident, or a recreational activity accident.
Types of Paralysis
Paralysis occurs when something disrupts the nerves signals to the muscles, which results in the patient being unable to make voluntary movements. In injury law, we see this most often when someone suffers from a spinal cord injury. The level of sensation maintained after an injury dictates the classification of the spinal cord injury:
- Complete Paralysis
This refers to the complete loss of sensation below the injury. This is when you can’t move or control your paralyzed body parts at all. - Incomplete Paralysis
This refers to partial loss of sensation below the injury, and is also known as partial paralysis. In this instance, you’ll have some control over the muscles in the affected body parts.
Paralysis can then be categorized into the areas of the body that have been affected:
- Generalized Paralysis
Generalized paralysis is a group of conditions that affects multiple areas of your body. This can include quadriplegia, paraplegia, tetraplegia which can often be the result of a spinal cord injury. - Localized Paralysis
Localized paralysis is when the paralysis affects a specific area. This often happens due to stroke, where the sufferer is paralyzed in their face or vocal cords.
