One type of injury that is particularly devastating is paralysis. You may face immediate medical bills, future rehabilitation expenses, a loss of income, and the cost of retrofitting your home and vehicle.
If another person’s carelessness resulted in your partial or complete paralysis, an experienced catastrophic injury attorney can help you pursue a negligence claim for the emotional and financial toll on you and your family. A Gaffney paralysis injury lawyer from Holland & Usry will review your case free of charge, and when hired, advocate on your behalf and support you throughout the claim process.
Nerves run along the human spinal column and signal muscles to move. When the spine is crushed or severed, the nerves cannot communicate with the muscles below the injury, resulting in paralysis. There are various types of paralysis. Diplegia refers to the paralysis of both legs or both arms, while hemiplegia refers to paralysis on one side of the body. One paralyzed limb is monoplegia, lower body paralysis is paraplegia, and total paralysis below the neck is quadriplegia.
Your attorney must carefully assess your medical reports to determine how much compensation you’ll require to manage your needs with dignity. These needs differ greatly from monoplegia to quadriplegia. Our lawyer will focus on you when negotiating a settlement with an insurer or filing a lawsuit seeking a damages award if settlement talks break down. You have one chance to receive compensation for your losses, and our attorney at Holland & Usry can explain during your FREE case review why we are the best firm to help you with your Gaffney paralysis injury claim.
The Mayo Clinic reports that vehicular accidents are the number one cause of paralyzing injuries, representing one-half of all new paralysis cases annually. Drunk or drugged drivers are involved in one quarter of these vehicle accidents. To prove negligence, you must show that the person who caused your accident failed to observe the safety rules of the road and that it caused your injuries.
If the at-fault person received a ticket for drunk driving and causing an accident, the ticket serves as a sign that the person caused the accident. Your attorney must prove only that the at-fault party’s carelessness led to your paralysis and what you should recoup in damages.
Other examples of actionable negligence causing paralysis could include:
