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).

Why Should You Hire a Beverly Hills Paralysis Lawyer?

When another person’s actions cause someone to become paralyzed, the victim deserves to find justice for the losses they have suffered. When you hire a paralysis lawyer, you may experience the following benefits: prompt communications, a knowledgeable legal team to answer any questions, personalized service, knowledge of important deadlines and evidence needed for your claim, dedicated representation, and a free consultation to go over your claim.

What types of paralysis can result from a personal injury?

Paralysis can be classified by the location and extent of the loss of function. Paraplegia involves loss of function in the lower body, typically from a spinal cord injury at the thoracic level or below. Quadriplegia, also called tetraplegia, involves loss of function in all four limbs and is generally caused by higher cervical spinal cord injuries.

What are common causes of paralysis in personal injury cases?

Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis. Other causes include falls from heights, sports injuries, workplace accidents, gunshot wounds, and, in some cases, medical errors. Any incident that damages the spinal cord or brain can potentially cause some degree of paralysis.

What lifetime costs are associated with paralysis?

Paralysis involves significant long-term financial impact. Costs can include hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, in-home or facility care, adaptive equipment, wheelchair-accessible vehicle and housing modifications, ongoing medical management, and lost lifetime earnings. These figures can reach into the millions of dollars over a victim's lifetime.

Can family members recover compensation in a paralysis case?

Spouses and domestic partners may be able to recover damages for loss of consortium, which addresses the impact of the victim's condition on their relationship, household contributions, and companionship. An attorney can advise on which additional claims apply in your situation.

What is a life care plan, and why is it important in a paralysis case?

A life care plan is a document prepared by a medical professional that estimates the total cost of care a person living with paralysis will require over their lifetime. This includes all future medical, rehabilitative, adaptive, and personal care needs. Without this documentation, a settlement may fall far short of covering actual lifetime costs.

How long do I have to file a paralysis injury lawsuit in California?

The general statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury. However, given the severity of these cases and the extensive documentation required, starting the legal process as soon as possible is critical.

What damages are available in a paralysis case?

Recoverable damages include all past and future medical expenses, lifetime care costs, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and costs related to modifying your home or vehicle to accommodate your condition.

Why is legal representation so critical in paralysis cases?

Paralysis cases require a team of experts, including medical professionals, economists, and life care planners, to accurately document the full extent of lifetime losses. Insurance companies and defense attorneys will aggressively challenge these figures. Having experienced legal representation ensures your case is fully developed and that any settlement truly reflects what your life will require.
