There are many situations in life that can happen unexpectedly, negatively impacting the future and potential well-being of those involved.
This is certainly the case with accidents involving paralysis.
What is Paralysis? Paralysis is the complete loss of muscle function.
This loss can occur in a single muscle or across large areas of the body.
It is often accompanied by a loss of sensory abilities and motor skills for the affected area.
This tragic injury is often caused by damage to the nervous system, specifically the spinal column or spinal cord.
This often occurs as the result of physical trauma to the spinal area, which is too often caused by negligence.
Paralysis and Its Results When an unsuspecting individual falls victim to negligence and as a result suffers from paralysis, it is likely they will experience the following:

• Physical pain
• Loss of motor skills
• Lost wages
• Short term or long term disability
• Permanent disability
• Loss of vocal abilities
• Loss of mobility
• Prolonged need for costly medical treatments and rehabilitation

When an accident as permanent and tragic as paralysis occurs, it can be difficult for the victim and their loved ones to know what steps to take next.
It is important to note that when these accidents are caused by negligence, those responsible for the incident must be held accountable for the suffering and damages they have caused.
