Types of Paralysis and Their Long-Term Consequences

There are main types of paralysis, all of which may be at the center of a legal claim:

Localized paralysis, in which only part of the body (such as part of the face) is paralyzed.
Generalized paralysis, in which multiple parts of the body are paralyzed. Monoplegia, hemiplegia, diplegia, paraplegia, and quadriplegia/tetraplegia are all examples of generalized paralysis.
Partial paralysis, in which half the body can experience partial weakness or loss of strength.

Both localized and generalized paralysis can be complete or incomplete.

Complete paralysis refers to a condition in which the person has lost all movement, control, and/or sensation in the paralyzed limbs/muscles. Incomplete/partial paralysis, or paresis, is when a person retains some movement, control, and/or sensation in the affected areas.

Each of these spinal cord injuries completely changes a person’s life, from how they function everyday to their personal and family relationships, to suddenly being unable to enjoy their hobbies, and more. For this reason, paralysis claims typically result in compensation for medical expenses, lost wages (past and future), and pain and suffering.

What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Paralysis Accident Claim?

Filing a claim can help alleviate these burdens by allowing victims to pursue various types of damages:

Medical Expenses: One of the largest expenses associated with paralysis is ongoing medical care. This includes initial emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and assistive devices like wheelchairs or home modifications. Victims may also require long-term care or personal assistance, further adding to their financial strain. A successful claim can help recover both past and future medical expenses.
Lost Wages and Earning Capacity: Paralysis often prevents victims from returning to their previous jobs or earning the same income as before the accident. In cases of permanent disability, victims may be unable to work at all. Compensation can cover lost earnings and the loss of future wage potential, ensuring that victims are financially supported even if they cannot continue working.
Pain and Suffering: Paralysis causes immense physical pain and emotional suffering. Compensation for pain and suffering aims to address the mental distress, trauma, and loss of enjoyment of life that come with living with paralysis. While no monetary amount can truly compensate for the emotional toll, these damages relieve the hardship endured.
Loss of Consortium: Paralysis can impact personal relationships, especially marriages. If a victim’s injury affects their ability to maintain the same relationship with their spouse, their partner may be entitled to damages for loss of companionship, affection, and emotional support.
Punitive Damages: In cases where the defendant’s actions were especially reckless or malicious, victims may be entitled to punitive damages. These are designed to penalize the wrongdoer and deter others from engaging in similar behavior. While punitive damages are not available in every case, they can significantly increase the amount of compensation awarded in certain instances.

"20 out of 10 stars."

There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it’s interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don’t have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.

"Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members"

I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!

"So thankful for your expertise and professionalism"

Mrs. Gonzalez did an awesome job of explaining everything in detail and keeping me informed on the status of my case. Despite poor customer service with the insurance company, Mrs. Gonzalez was able to fix what they could not. Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.
