Approximately 6 million people in the United States are living with paralysis. This equates to nearly one in 50 people being paralyzed. Spinal injury is a leading cause of paralysis, which may take many forms including paraplegia and quadriplegia. Automobile accidents cause approximately 50 percent of all spinal injuries. While paralysis sometimes results from an unavoidable accident or medical condition, all too often it is caused by someone else’s negligence. Car accidents, medical malpractice, obstetrical negligence, defective products, hazardous conditions on public or private premises, unsafe workplaces – all of these can lead to serious injury and a lifetime of physical, emotional and financial hardship.

If you or a loved one suffers from paralysis, it is crucial to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Our skilled accident lawyers can help you secure all of the compensation to which you may be entitled. This may include compensation for pain and suffering, financial loss, emotional distress and past, current and future medical expenses. In some cases, you may also be entitled to punitive damages for another party’s wrongdoing. Our dedicated attorneys can also help you deal with your insurance company, as well as the insurer of the other party or parties. The insurance companies have lawyers working hard to minimize their payouts; you need a personal injury lawyer who will work just as hard for you.
