We always want to make sure that our clients are always well-informed, and are constantly kept in the loop regarding the circumstances of their accident claim.

What are the other types of paralysis?

Other than paraplegia, there are several other types of paralysis. This includes:

Monoplegia: this affects only one part of the body. For example, a victim experiences paralysis to their one hand.
Hemiplegia: hemiplegia affects one side of the body, for example the left arm.
Tetraplegic: this occurs when the victim suffers paralysis at both their arms and legs.

Almost all types of paralysis need 24/7 medical care to make sure that the victim can perform the basic activities of their daily life. Our top-rated paralysis lawyers will assist you in recovering compensation for your injuries, along with any future medical attention and treatments you may need.
