Paralysis

Bakersfield Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

Paralysis is a catastrophic injury that may result from trauma to the spinal cord, stroke, nerve diseases, or certain autoimmune diseases. It is characterized by a partial or total loss of sensation and muscle control in the affected part of the body due to damaged or severed nerves. How much of the body is paralyzed will depend on where nerve damage occurs. If the neck is broken for example, the entire body below the neck may be affected ( quadriplegia). If the spinal cord is injured along the lower part of the back, only the legs and lower part of the torso may be affected ( paraplegia). If nerve damage occurs only in the shoulder, the affected arm may be partially or totally paralyzed (as in a case involving brachial plexus injury during childbirth).

A Bakersfield catastrophic injury lawyer at our law firm may be able to assist you in taking legal action against another person or party if their actions led to your injuries and therefore paralysis. In addition to handling cases involving auto accidents, slip and falls, work accidents or other cases involving physical trauma, our attorneys are also experienced in handling claims involving medical malpractice that leads to paralysis, such as a surgical error or misdiagnosis of a serious medical condition. By talking to you about what you have experienced and what led to your condition, we can determine what caused paralysis and therefore what party can be held liable (legally accountable) in civil court. We handle all types of catastrophic injury claims in the Bakersfield area, and your initial consultation with an attorney is always free and completely confidential.
