Paralysis Attorney in Florida
Paralysis is a devastating condition that under many circumstances could have been prevented if the responsible individual had not been reckless or negligent in their actions. Paralysis occurs when the signals between the brain and other body parts are interrupted, and is considered a catastrophic injury because of how drastically the paralyzed individual’s day-to-day life is affected.
The effects of paralysis are life altering. Whether it was caused in an car accident or medical malpractice, it can take an extreme emotional and financial toll on victims and their families. Victims of paralysis are unfairly thrown into a position of emotional and financial distress.

Some Injuries Could Leave You Paralyzed
Nerve damage, especially in the spinal cord, is one of the most common causes for paralysis. Motor vehicle accidents account for 44% of spinal cord injuries and are the leading cause for injuries of this type. Acts of violence, falls, and sports-related injuries are other top causes of spinal cord injury. Victims of these accidents are at an extremely high risk for paralysis because of the sudden and forceful impact they receive to the body’s nervous system.
Medical malpractice is another top cause of paralysis. Though this negligence is rare, it will severely impact a patient’s life when it does occur. Improper treatment of neck and back injuries can put pressure on the nerves in the spinal cord and tragically result in paralysis. Improper treatment of a brain injury can also lead to paralysis. Paralysis due to brain damage can occur if the signals from the brain to the rest of the body are interrupted. This may happen when a surgeon disregards the acceptable standards of practice during treatment.
Seek the Compensation You Deserve
