Santa Ana Injury Lawyer: Partial Paralysis and Paraplegia
Fill out a personal injury form.
A spinal cord injury in a freeway accident, motorcycle accident, truck accident or other serious accident can cause irreversible damage to your spine. It is difficult to comprehend what doctors are saying when they tell you that you will never walk again. Our attorneys at the Orange County law firm of Berman More Gonzalez are here to guide clients through the aftermath of a devastating accident. We focus on recovering the full compensation injured clients will need and provide clients with beneficial resources as they face a life with paraplegia, tetraplegia or quadraplegia.
Understanding Paraplegia
Paraplegia is partial paralysis that involves paralysis to the lower extremities. Paraplegia occurs when the spinal cord is damaged in the low back, such as when a lumbar vertebra is crushed and causes nerve damage to the spinal cord. Most paraplegics will still have fully functioning sensory and motor skills in their upper torso, arms and hands, allowing them to adapt to many more activities of daily living than individuals suffering from more severe spinal cord injuries, such as quadriplegia.
However, the medical treatment and rehabilitative therapy that is necessary is expensive and can consume your life. Our personal injury and workers comp trial lawyers work hard to obtain the compensation you will need to alleviate the financial strain associated with your injuries and your recovery. Whether your injury resulted from a car accident or other motor vehicle accident, a construction accident or any other serious accident, we are dedicated to pursuing the full compensation you are entitled, through personal injury and defective product claims, or through workers' compensation claims.
