Los Angeles Paralysis LawyerAfter a serious or catastrophic accident, one of the most life changing injuries are full paralysis or partial paralysis. Paralysis occurs when someone has lost the ability to move or control parts of their body. This type of injury can have a traumatic impact on someone's quality of life and may adversely affect their career or income opportunities. Our Los Angeles Paralysis Attorneys have represented people who have suffered paralysis because of the negligence of others whether the paralysis resulted from a car accident, an amusement park or water slide accident or because of a motorcycle crashing into a truck. Our lawyers understand the physical, emotional and financial issues that families must deal with when a serious accident occurs. We are experienced with assisting families who have loved ones who have suffered brain damage or spinal cord injuries resulting from their personal injury accident. It is important to be aware of the distinction between a spinal cord injury resulting in permanent paralysis and a back injury which may result in temporary mobility. This distinction is important in determining the compensation you will seek for you injury. A broken bone or a broken vertebrae in your neck may result in temporary injuries, where if the spinal cord is broken or damaged, permanent injuries will result as the brain will no longer be able to send electrical signals to those parts of the body. Paralysis is such a serious type of injury because it often results in temporary or permanent loss of vital life-sustaining functions such as:
- balance;
- breathing;
- digestion; and
- regulating body temperature.
If these additional aspects of your paralysis are not taken care of medically, you may die as a result of your paralysis where the family members may then elect to bring a wrongful death action against the people responsible for causing your injuries. It is important to hold the people responsible for your paralysis as you will have large medical bills related to any spinal cord, back and / or neck surgeries you undergo, as well as in-home care, physical therapy, loss of income as well as the pain and suffering associated with your injuries.
