What Are the Degrees of Severity of Paralysis?
One of the most devastating things a person can suffer after an accident is paralysis. Paralysis is a symptom of an injury to the nervous system, resulting in the body’s inability to make voluntary muscle movements. Approximately one in every fifty people lives with paralysis in the United States. If you or a loved one has been paralyzed due to an accident caused by someone’s negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Setareh Law has a team of experienced Beverly Hills paralysis lawyers who understand how devastating this catastrophic injury can be.
There are different degrees of how severe a person’s paralysis may be. Paralysis can affect the body completely, meaning the person will never regain control of their muscles. If the paralysis is partial, you may be able to control some muscles and possibly regain complete control eventually. Paralysis can also be flaccid (when the muscles get flabby and shrink) or spastic (when the muscles tighten, causing uncontrollable spasms and jerks).
What Are the Most Common Causes of Paralysis?
Some of the most common causes of paralysis include slip and fall accidents, motor vehicle accidents, sport-related injuries, being struck by or against something, certain diseases, work-related accidents, strokes, spinal cord injuries, and autoimmune diseases. Any accident or injury that affects the nervous system may result in paralysis. If your paralysis resulted from another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to collect damages for your losses.
Can You Collect Damages after Being Paralyzed?
If your paralysis resulted from an accident caused by another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation in the form of damages. These damages can include medical expenses (doctor visits, purchase of wheelchairs, or at-home medical care), lost wages and earning potential (past, present, and future), and pain and suffering (physical and mental damage to victims).
