Injuries Causing Paralysis FAQs

What are the common causes of paralysis in personal injury cases?

Paralysis can result from a variety of accidents and incidents, including:

  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Workplace injuries
  • Falls from heights
  • Medical malpractice

These incidents can lead to damage to the spinal cord or brain, which in turn can cause partial or complete paralysis.

Can I file a personal injury claim if my paralysis was caused by someone else’s negligence?

Yes, if your paralysis was caused by someone else’s negligence—whether in a car accident, a workplace injury, or another incident—you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation, and other damages.

What kind of compensation can I receive for an injury causing paralysis?

Compensation for paralysis-related injuries may include:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)
  • Rehabilitation and therapy costs
  • Modifications to your home or vehicle to accommodate your needs
  • Loss of income and future earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Costs for in-home care or specialized equipment

How long do I have to file a claim for an injury causing paralysis in Alberta?

In Alberta, the general limitation period for filing a personal injury claim is two years from the date of the injury. However, there are exceptions, and it is important to consult with an injury lawyer as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss the deadline and to preserve evidence.

Will I need to go to court to resolve my paralysis injury claim?

Many personal injury cases are settled outside of court through negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may go to trial. KMSC Law will be prepared to advocate for you at every step, whether in negotiations or in court.

I am still in hospital and can’t visit your office, can you visit me in hospital?

Yes, if you are still recovering from your injury or undergoing rehabilitation we will visit you in hospital, or at your home.
