Bellevue Areas Of Practice

 

Types of Paralysis

The effects of a spinal cord injury depend on where in the spinal cord the injury occurred. Generally speaking, the higher the place of injury on the spinal cord, the more comprehensive the paralysis.

Sustaining a brain injury halts the signals the brain sends to your arms and legs. Therefore, you can’t move your limbs, even though they are physically intact.

Paralysis injuries fall into the following categories:

  • Paraplegia
  • Quadriplegia or Tetraplegia
  • Monoplegia
  • Hemiplegia

Paralysis injuries can be complete, partial, localized, or generalized.

Paraplegia

Paraplegia defines paralysis that occurs only on the lower portion of your body—primarily your legs, but sometimes your torso as well. Paraplegia results from a traumatic brain injury or spine injury below the neck.

Quadriplegia

Quadriplegia or tetraplegia defines paralysis that occurs in all four limbs—both arms and legs. A brain injury or injury to the high cervical nerves of the spine will result in this level of paralysis.

Monoplegia

Paralyzing accidents may result in brain injury and the paralysis of just one limb or muscle. The term for this is monoplegia, a localized paralysis. Monoplegia is often associated with cerebral palsy.

Hemiplegia

Hemiplegia is paralysis of the limbs on either the right or left side of your body. Hemiplegia can result from injury to the cervical spinal cord or brain.

 

Common Causes of Paralysis

Paralysis is a result of injury to your brain or spinal cord. These injuries most commonly occur after a motor vehicle accident, fall, sports injury, or as the result of a medical condition such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease).

Paralyzing injuries can occur due to:

  • Medical error or neglect during childbirth
  • Workplace accident
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Stroke
  • Guillain-Barré syndrome
  • Car accident
  • Infection
  • Congenital condition
  • Tumor
  • Falls
  • Acts of violence

A traumatic brain injury from a car accident, act of violence, fall, or other cause interrupts communication between your brain and your muscles. The resulting paralysis can affect your long-term health in a variety of ways that may require additional treatment.

In the aftermath of a traumatic paralysis condition, your focus should be on healing and living the best life you can. Your caregivers or loved ones should be able to focus solely on helping you recover and adjust to your new normal.

When you work with a paralysis injury attorney at The Jones Firm after your injury, we will work on your behalf to recover damages and give you peace of mind that you can take care of yourself in the future.

 

Paralysis Injuries Compensation in Bellevue

On top of coping with the physical, emotional, and mental effects of an injury that results in paralysis, you are likely facing financial burdens. The initial financial impact of your injury includes the costs associated with treatment when the injury occurred, such as ambulance fees, lifesaving care at the hospital, medication, hospital stays, and neurological tests.

If you were injured as a result of another person’s negligence, you and your family should not have to bear the burden alone. If you work with The Jones Firm, we will comprehensively review and investigate the circumstances of your injury to determine the costs to you throughout your lifetime. We will work tirelessly to recover damages for injury victims due to:

  • Lost wages
  • Caregiver’s lost wages
  • Initial medical treatment
  • Ongoing medical care
  • Rehabilitation
  • Future medical treatment costs
  • Mental and emotional support and treatment
  • Adaptations to your living conditions
  • Wrongful death

Don’t try to take on all these tasks alone. The Jones Firm has the knowledge and experience you need for paralysis injury cases. Our Bellevue attorneys will fight for you to help you cope with the extensive and devastating effects of losing the use of your limbs.
