Boca Raton Paralysis Injury Lawyer

Spinal cord injuries are some of the most devastating injuries a person could experience. Damage to the spine can impair the body’s ability to send information between the brain and other parts of the body, which often leads to partial or total paralysis. Both the physical and psychological effects of paralysis have life-long implications. Often, individuals who suffered spinal trauma will have special needs for the rest of their lives. If you are paralyzed as a result of another person’s negligent behavior, it is essential to seek legal action.

 

While navigating the aftermath of a catastrophic accident can be overwhelming, the choices you make in the weeks following the incident can directly impact your future. Seeking legal counsel as soon as possible is the best way to ensure your physical and financial future is protected. At Baker Legal, we understand the debilitating effects associated with paralysis. Our team is dedicated to ensuring our clients who have suffered spinal injuries receive fair compensation for medical care, lost earning capacity, and emotional pain and suffering.

The Common Causes of Paralysis

Each year, thousands of people suffer from a spinal cord injury. Many of these people experience permanent or partial paralysis. There are a variety of accidents that can cause spinal injuries that result in paralysis. However, some of the most common causes of paralysis include:

  • Motor vehicle accidents, including car, bike, motorcycle, and ATV accidents.
  • Construction equipment accidents
  • Acts of violence, such as domestic or gun violence
  • Sports accidents
  • Bad falls

These are a couple of the common accidents that lead to paralysis. Cases of paralysis caused by these accidents can be either partial or permanent. In cases of partial paralysis, the brain can still send some signals from the brain to the rest of the body. In these scenarios, victims only lose motion below the injury site. Alternatively, permanent spinal cord injuries completely sever the brain’s ability to send messages to the rest of the body and result in paralysis below the injury site.

If your case of paralysis was caused by another party’s negligent behavior, it is essential to hire a paralysis injury lawyer. Pursuing legal action is the best way to ensure you recover compensation for the damages you are entitled to.

Damages You May Recover After a Spinal Cord Injury

Any spinal trauma but especially paralysis injuries create life-changing consequences—both physically and financially. Individuals who suffer from paralysis need access to life-long medical care and therapies. Additionally, individuals with paralysis are likely to experience depression and reduced earning capacity. If your injury was a result of another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Depending on the facts surrounding your injury, it may be possible to recover financial compensation for:

  • All medical expenses related to the accident, including the costs of long-term care
  • Lost wages
  • Lost earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage

Taking action in a timely manner is the best way to ensure you receive fair compensation for your damages.
