paraplegia
|
Many serious accidents result in the permanent injury of the victim. In some instances, paraplegia or paralysis is the end result after being involved in a serious accident.
Paraplegia is the impairment of the functions of the lower extremities (legs). Typically, paralysis or paraplegia is caused by a blunt force trauma impacting the spinal cord, often seen in car accidents, motorcycle accidents and other serious crashes. Spinal cord injuries impacting the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions can result in the loss of function of the lower extremities.
It has been reported that in the United States, over 11,000 people suffer from spinal cord injuries that result in paraplegia.
If you or someone you know has been involved in a serious accident which has resulted in paraplegia or other life threatening and altering injuries you should immediately speak to an injury attorney about your case. Preservation of the evidence is the first step that must be taken and it is important to act now to prevent any destruction or loss of critical evidence.
