What is quadriplegia?

Quadriplegia occurs when there is paralysis and loss of function to a victim’s arms and legs from an accident. This is one of the most severe types of paralysis, and leads to very expensive medical bills. Usually, there are several treatments, prescription medication, medical devices, and nursing assistants that are needed after suffering quadriplegia. Those who are quadriplegic must have constant 24-hour medical assistance going around the house. Quadriplegia could have physical, financial, and emotional lifelong effects.

What causes quadriplegia injuries?

Several traumatic experiences can cause paralysis to the C1 to C8 portions of the spinal cord. When severe trauma occurs, such as a blunt force, the spinal cord may stretch or sever. When this happens, victims may suffer several different types of symptoms such as inability to move, numbing, tingling, etc.

There are several different types of accidents that could cause quadriplegia. Car accidents are one of the most common types of causes. The other types of accidents include:

Motorcycle accidents
Truck accidents
Airplane accidents
Pedestrian accidents
Slip and fall accidents
Premises liability accidents
Workplace accidents
DUI accidents
Construction accidents
Battery
Assault

All of these instances mentioned above involve some form of severe physical trauma. When this occurs, you could sustain very severe injuries to your spinal cord. If you have been involved in any of the above accidents, contact our top-rated accident attorneys immediately to see how our attorneys can help you seek the compensation you may need.

Why should I hire a quadriplegia attorney?

After enduring a severe accident, insurance companies and adjusters will try to contact you to downplay their liability and limit the amount of the cash settlement offer. They will try to blame different types of factors, such as the conditions the victim had prior to the accident. Our accident attorneys know how to navigate and deal with insurance companies to make sure that you get the highest compensation you could possibly receive.

We will negotiate with insurance companies while you focus on healing from your injuries. Suffering a quadriplegia accident could be very severe and traumatic.

How much do our quadriplegia injury attorneys cost?

Our quadriplegic attorneys work on a contingency basis, which means that we do not collect any compensation unless we win a settlement or judgment in your favor. This means that we do not get paid hourly, we only take a percentage of the compensation after we recover monetary damages in your favor. Until you get paid, we do not get paid.

The Effects of Quadriplegia

Quadriplegia can have several different types of effects on the victim. This includes:

Depression
Anxiety
Digestive problems
Breathing problems
Muscle spasms
Sexual dysfunction

These complications can be long-term, and can affect your life forever. We fight to make sure that you receive the compensation you deserve.

How Quadriplegic Injuries Are Treated

Usually, quadriplegic injuries are permanent, and will have lifelong effects. Therefore, the number one concern for medical providers is to make sure the patient is stabilized, and all the emergency surgeries are done. For example, if there is an object in the patient’s spinal cord, doctors will immediately remove that object. Patients will then have to stabilize by attending physical rehabilitation therapy. During these physical rehabilitation sessions, patients will learn to cope with their quadriplegic injury. They will strengthen other parts of the body, and improve movement and mobility. Different types of medical treatment that may be needed include:

Wheelchairs
Electric scooters
Braces
Modified Vehicles
Modified phones
Modified computers
24/7 home support
Weight training

What if I was also at fault for my spinal cord injury?

If you are also at fault in your paraplegic injury, you may still be able to recover a portion of your medical expenses and lost wages. California follows a pure comparative law statute, which means that you still will be able to recover a portion of your compensation. Your compensation will only be decreased by the percentage of fault.

For example, if you were 10% liable for the car accident that caused your quadriplegic injuries, you will still be able to recover the 90% compensation from the other party.

What type of compensation should I receive for my quadriplegic lawsuit?

Quadriplegic injuries can cause financial burdens, along with the physical and emotional toll it can take on you. Not only does this affect the victim, but it also affects the victim’s family as they work hard to make sure that their family member is cared for. This may require several family members taking off from work to make sure that they attend to their injured family member. There are several different types of compensation a victim of a catastrophic accident could recover. Our quadriplegic injury attorneys could recover:

Past medical expenses: this refers to all the surgeries, prescription medication, and past rehabilitation costs
Future medical expenses: this refers to the future attendant care that the victim may need
Emotional distress: undergoing quadriplegic injuries is a very traumatic experience, and could be emotionally frustrating to the victim
Past lost wages: this refers to the wages the victim missed out on while in the hospital
Future lost wages and loss of income: if the quadriplegia is permanent and causes severe injuries, the victim will be unable to return back to work, the victim could recover future loss of income
Medical equipment: a quadriplegic injury most likely will always require medical equipment for mobility to get around
