In many situations, an injury suffered from someone’s negligence eventually heals and the hurt person can return to a normal life. In some cases, however, the harm sustained by an individual may be permanent and change the entire complexion of their life. While you adjust to the losses from which you suffer, a compassionate catastrophic injury attorney could help you navigate the legal aspects of your case.
One severe type of injury is paralysis, which can leave an individual entirely or partially paralyzed. If you suffer from this, basic living activities become difficult and you may no longer be able to live independently.
A Norristown paralysis injury lawyer could help you pursue compensation for the parties responsible for your life-changing losses.
Paralysis is a severe type of harm that may affect an individual’s ability to move their limbs, body, and complete voluntary actions. Becoming paralyzed can result in quadriplegia or paraplegia, depending on which parts of someone’s body are unable to move.
Injuries Resulting in Quadriplegia
Quadriplegia is when paralyzing trauma affects an individual’s upper and lower body—including the arms, legs, and torso. Individuals suffering from quadriplegia may be unable to move their limbs or feel any sensation in the affected parts of their body. In some cases, a hurt individual may be able to complete small movements with their limbs or only feel minimal sensations.
Damages resulting in quadriplegia can affect the hurt person’s organ system because of the immobilization in the torso. This is especially severe because an individual may be unable to breathe independently, may suffer impaired lung function or kidney function, and may be unable to digest foods.
Injuries Resulting in Paraplegia
Paraplegia relates to the loss of movement and sensation in an individual’s lower body—or legs and torso. Due to the not being able to move or control in the lower body, individuals suffering from paraplegia often require a wheelchair or other people to help with mobility.
Paralyzed individuals often need long-term medical treatment and care and rehabilitation. The effects of quadriplegia and paraplegia are usually permanent, and hurt people may undergo many medical treatments to help them cope with being paralyzed. An experienced Norristown paralyzing accident attorney understands the difficulties someone faces following an accident that led to harm like this.
Many different accidents can cause paralysis injuries, including health conditions and illnesses. However, most damages like this result from trauma to the spinal cord. Common types of trauma that may cause someone to become paralyzed include:
There are a wide variety of accidents and other activities that may result in loss of feeling or control of body parts. A knowledgeable Norristown attorney could evaluate a case to help determine a paralyzed person’s legal options.
If paralysis resulted from the negligence of another party, the claimant might have the legal right to compensation for their damages. Some of the most common types of damages that may be recoverable in cases like this including medical bills, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, lowered quality of life and lost consortium for a spouse.
42 Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes § 8528 determines that there are no damage caps under state law except in certain situations, including claims against the state. A seasoned paralysis injury attorney in Norristown could help fight for the compensation a hurt person deserves.
Becoming paralyzed can require long-term medical care and dependence on others to perform daily tasks for you. If the negligence of another party leaves you or a loved one paralyzed, the responsible party may be liable for the damages. A Norristown paralysis injury lawyer could help fight for your legal rights. Schedule a case consultation for your damages today.
