Paralysis

One of the most devastating results of a traumatic injury is paralysis. Anyone suffering from a loss of motor function in their limbs can attest to the horror and emotional trauma of this sort of accident. Individuals who have acquired this sort of injury in the workplace may be eligible to receive financial compensation for their losses.

If you have been the victim of a spinal cord or nervous system injury at your place of employment and are not receiving the financial support you deserve during this challenging time, it is important that you discuss your legal rights with an attorney.

Types of Paralysis

Paralysis can occur in varying forms, result from many different types of injury, and affect specific body parts. The two most common forms of paralysis are:

• Paraplegia – the loss of motor and sensory function of the lower limbs.
• Quadriplegia – an impairment of all limbs and the torso.

No matter what type of paralysis you are experiencing, the physical disability is likely to be only one of the many challenges ahead. Victims of paralysis often exhibit emotional and psychological symptoms of extreme stress as well as a multitude of complications such as circulatory problems, respiratory problems, pressures sores, limb deformities, and cardiovascular ailments.
