Overview

Paraplegia is one of the costliest and most devastating injuries that a person can endure. Defined by complete or partial paralysis of the lower body, this injury affects over 5,000 new patients in the U.S. every year. As such, if you or a loved one has been injured in an accident and suffered complete or partial paralysis in the lower body, then you should highly consider contacting a Charleston, WV, paraplegia attorney as soon as possible. At the Love Law Firm, we’ve helped many individuals seek justice in the wake of a debilitating injury, and we are prepared to help you too.

To get started on your personal injury lawsuit, contact our Charleston, WV, personal injury law office today by dialing (304) 344-5683.

UNDERSTANDING PARAPLEGIA

Paraplegia is a type of paralysis that, as we mentioned above, affects the victim’s lower body. Generally, because this injury results in paralysis of the legs and lower extremities, the spinal injury generally occurs in the lower parts of the spine (below the first thoracic spinal nerve). As such, victims may experience loss of sensory and motor function in the legs, urinary and fecal incontinence, impotence, and loss of pelvic function.

Some of the most common causes of traumatic spinal injury that leads to paraplegia include:

  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Workplace accidents
  • Sporting and recreation accidents
  • Falls
  • Violence

HOW A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY CAN HELP

On average, the first year after the injury, paraplegics are often facing upwards of $500,000, and some victims face even steeper costs. Whether due to initial medical expenses, surgery, physical therapy, change-of-lifestyle costs, or more, some individuals end up confronting substantial financial difficulties. By contacting a West Virginia personal injury attorney, we’ll diligently pursue the lawsuit to hold the responsible party(s) accountable for being negligent and causing your injuries.

Some of the financial compensation involved in these cases can include:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Long-term rehabilitation and care
  • Home and vehicle modifications
  • Loss of income and earning potential
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
