More about quadriplegia
Read the full guide
Quadriplegia is an injury to the spinal cord that results in paralysis of the arms, body and legs of the injured individual. Most often quadriplegia is the result of an accident. If your paralysis (or the paralysis of a loved one) was caused by another person’s negligence, our team of attorneys is ready to help you gain compensation for your injuries.
Typically, an insurance company is responsible to provide adequate compensation for your injury, and its associated economic losses and long-term costs for ongoing care. These companies often try to minimize your claim. Our team of legal experts will ensure you receive maximum compensation from the insurance providers of the responsible party or parties.
Common Accidents that Cause Quadriplegia
About Quadriplegia
Your spinal cord is divided into four sections - cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral. At the top of your spinal cord, in your neck, is the cervical area. The nerves in this area control the head/neck, diaphragm, biceps, deltoids, wrist, triceps and hands. If the C1 – C4 are damaged, the result may be quadriplegia, a complete paralysis of arms, body and legs. Due to the location of the injury, a number of critical body functions are compromised, including the respiratory system, bladder and sexual functions and a person's ability to communicate without assistance.
Understanding Your Injury
Quadriplegia is among the most significant injuries anyone can experience. Permanent and irreversible, the injured require lifelong care and assistance. The emotional effects of the injury are also overwhelming and require therapy. The patient may also benefit from psychoactive medications. The scope of ongoing care, both physical and emotional, places a strain on family members and care givers as well.
Due to the severity and permanence of the injury, the cost of long-term care, and the scope of its effect on others, it’s crucial to have and attorney who understands what level of compensation is adequate and fair. Do not put your case in the hands of an unqualified or under qualified attorneys.
