Common Causes of Paralysis

Few things are as devastating or traumatic as sustaining a catastrophic injury which adversely and permanently affects the course of your life, especially at the hands of another’s negligence or recklessness. Spinal injuries, nerve damage, and brain trauma can result in various forms of paralysis such as paraplegia and quadriplegia. 

These injuries can happen anytime, though they are particularly common in: 

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Slip and falls
• Industrial accidents

Long-Term Effects of Paralysis

An individual who has developed paralysis as the result of a serious wreck or other incident will often require significant treatment, therapy, and ongoing care.

Paralysis can lead to problems with other systems in the body, due to immobility:

• Problems with bones, joints & muscles
• Problems with the gastrointestinal system & kidneys
• Problems with circulation
• Problems with respiration
• Bedsores
• Blood clots
• Incontinence
• And more

It’s important to hire an attorney who will take the time to understand the current problems you face, as well as the potential complications you could face in the future. At Cunningham Bounds, we examine your circumstances from every angle in order to build a compelling case that advocates for your comprehensive needs.

Types of Paralysis

Paraplegia

Paraplegia is among the most debilitating injuries one can endure. It refers to the loss of feeling and motor control in the lower body and legs in relation to the spinal cord. The nature and location of your injury will determine the degree of your paralysis. Your body will be affected depending on the location of impact. 

For example, some parts of your spine may only control leg function, while others also impact your respiration or reproductive systems. While paralysis can sometimes be temporary, most victims are not so lucky. Available treatments for paraplegia include surgery, physical therapy, and prescription medications.

Quadriplegia

Quadriplegia is total paralysis of both the upper and lower half of the body, leaving the injured effectively disabled and with a shortened life span. Victims of quadriplegia struggle with basic needs such as controlling their breathing and are often forced to move as they can no longer care for or support themselves. 

They will also spend the rest of their lives paying high medical expenses and care costs while overcoming endless daily challenges. Despite some innovative rehabilitative therapies and equipment, there is currently no cure for quadriplegia.
