Paralysis Lawyer
Paralysis Attorney
Paralysis is a life-altering and problematic condition that generally involves damage to a person’s spinal cord. Damage to the spinal cord can occur when the spine or vertebrae in the back are broken, but can also similarly occur without any break at all. Spinal cord trauma can be caused, for instance, by physical force that is exerted onto the body, particularly the back and neck areas. What makes damage to the spine particularly difficult is the body’s general inability to regrow the damaged tissue, unlike other parts of the body, which can usually readily recover from trauma.
Paralysis can be caused by a number of accidents including, for example:
- Motorcycle, truck, car and boat accidents
- Sports injuries
- Inappropriate medical treatment

More About Paralysis Injuries
As described above, paralysis is typically defined as the loss of muscle or motor function along muscles or a single muscle and may also include a decrease or total loss in a person’s ability to feel the affected portion of their body.
Most types of paralyses stem from damage to the nervous system. However, temporary or periodic paralysis is possible. Although a variety of medical professionals may diagnose and treat patients who suffer from paralysis, most patients are referred to or seen by a neurologist, which are physicians who are versed in the treatment of nerve-related disorders. A Neurologist’s branch of scientific discipline or field of study is neuroscience, although neurologists are often specialized in other areas as well. Similarly, paralysis sufferers may also be treated by a psychiatrist because of the link between neuroscience and psychiatry.
Examinations of injury victims who suffer from paralysis often involve a physical component as well as a mental or psychiatric component. First, physical examinations typically involve a review of the victim’s health and medical history, along with the victim’s paralysis. Second, a neurological examination is often also administered in order to test the victim’s mental state and abilities, along with the abilities of the victim’s cranial nerves and his or her vision, reflexology and physical coordination and function.
In so doing, neurologists generally look to assess the following when examining accident victims:
- Physical Function
- Cognitive Functionality
- Coordination
- Sensation
- Reflexes
- Cranial Nerves
Additional symptoms accompanying paralysis that neurologists often look into may also include:
- Headaches
- Dementia
- Neuropathy
- Sleep Issues
Additional diagnostic testing and tools utilized often by neurologists during paralysis examinations involve the use of various scans or studies ranging from CAT scans, MRIs, EEGs, NCSs, EMGs and Ultrasounds, among others.
