Ohio Paralysis Lawyer
Paralysis injuries cause the loss of sensory and motor function in certain areas of the body. These injuries are life-changing and can cause physical and psychological pain. Paralysis stems from spine injuries that involve complete severance of the spinal cord. Treatment for paralysis can involve hospitalization and ongoing medical care for the rest of a victim’s life. Paralysis costs can easily be millions of dollars over a lifetime.
Anyone with paralysis from an accident should immediately speak with an Ohio law firm that handles severe injury cases.
Types of Paralysis
There are different types of paralysis:
- Hemiplegia = Paralysis on one side of the body
- Paraplegia = Paralysis of the legs and lower body
- Quadriplegia or tetraplegia = Paralysis from the neck down, including both arms and legs
Paralysis can affect organ functions as well as the limbs and motor functions. People with paralysis need wheelchairs and possibly additional equipment or full-time care.
After a possible spinal injury, get emergency medical treatment. Professionals can stabilize your condition and work to prevent complications and improve your prognosis as much as possible. Once your health reaches a stable level, you should not wait to learn about your legal options if you think someone else caused your accident and injuries.
