Types of Paralysis Injuries We Handle

Any serious damage to your spine or brain can cause you to lose feeling and movement. This is called paralysis. These catastrophic injuries usually mean you will need to spend a lot of time in the hospital. You may also need a wheelchair, a special bed, and round-the-clock care.

Our law firm helps people who suffer from all types of paralysis, including:

  • Paraplegia: This is when you lose feeling and movement in the lower half of your body, including your legs. It is usually caused by damage to the middle or lower parts of the spine.
  • Quadriplegia (Tetraplegia): This happens when you lose feeling and movement in your arms, hands, chest, legs, and feet. It is usually caused by a severe injury to the neck.
  • Hemiplegia: This is paralysis that affects only one side of your body.
  • Monoplegia: This type of paralysis affects only one limb, like an arm or a leg.

According to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, hundreds of thousands of people live with paralysis in the United States. Many of these injuries are caused by trauma to the spinal cord. If your spinal cord injury was caused by someone else, we are ready to take legal action for you.

Common Causes of Paralysis

Accidents happen quickly, but the damage can last a lifetime. The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC) reports that vehicle crashes and sudden falls are among the leading causes of these terrible injuries. We handle cases where someone else's bad choices caused your injury.

Common causes of paralysis include:

  • Car Accidents: High-speed crashes can crush the spine and lead to permanent damage.
  • Truck Accidents: Getting hit by a massive commercial truck often causes the most severe injuries to the spine.
  • Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcycle riders have very little protection. Being thrown from a bike can easily snap the spine.
  • Slip & Fall Accidents: Falling down stairs, slipping on wet floors, or falling from a high place can severely injure the back and neck.
  • Workplace Accidents: Falling off scaffolding, being crushed by heavy machinery, or other serious accidents at work can leave you paralyzed.
  • Surgical Errors: Sometimes, a doctor makes a terrible mistake during surgery that cuts a nerve or damages the spinal cord.

No matter how you were hurt, you need an experienced paralysis injury attorney to stand up for your rights and get you the money you deserve. DM Injury Law is ready to fight for you. Schedule your free consultation today to get started.

Compensation to Victims Who Were Paralyzed in Accidents

Hospital bills after becoming paralyzed can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in just the first year. We fight to make sure the insurance company pays for everything. We will calculate every single penny you need to live safely and comfortably.

We fight to get you money for:

  • Medical Expenses: We demand money to pay for all your hospital stays, surgeries, doctor visits, and physical therapy. This includes money for future medical care that you will need for the rest of your life.
  • Assistive Care and Equipment: You will likely need a wheelchair, special ramps at your home, a modified van to travel in, and a home health nurse to help you daily. We make sure the responsible party pays for all of this.
  • Lost Wages: Because you cannot work, you cannot earn money to feed your family. We will demand full compensation for the paychecks you missed and the future income you will never be able to earn.
  • Pain and Suffering: Living with paralysis causes massive physical pain and deep emotional sadness. While no amount of money can fix your body, a large settlement gives you justice and financial peace of mind.
