Paralysis is typically categorized as complete or incomplete. Basically, incomplete paralysis refers to the fact that individuals can still retain some fine motor control and sensation. Conversely, individuals suffering from complete paralysis will most likely lose all feeling and movement in the affected regions.
- Paraplegia: An accident or illness that damages the lower regions of the spinal cord can cause paraplegia, a paralysis of the legs and lower body.
- Quadriplegia: A more serious type of paralysis, quadriplegia includes both the upper and lower portions of the body. Damage to the upper region of the spinal cord can cause paralysis to both the arms and legs. Individuals who suffer from quadriplegia might also have difficulty breathing, and they might require the use of a ventilator to continue breathing.
We understand that these injuries can be devastating. It is our goal to completely handle the legal side of our clients' dilemma while they focus on living their life.
