San Fernando Paralysis Attorney

Has your child suffered severe paralysis in an accident?

In the United States, more than two million people are paralyzed.  Paralysis, which can be a temporary or permanent condition, is a general medical term described as the complete loss of feeling and/or muscle function in part of a person's body.   Paralysis is most often caused by damage to the nervous system, especially in spinal cord.  Paralysis is relevant to legal system because sudden paralysis can be a life-changing condition that is often the result of an accident for which someone else is liable, including, but not limited to, auto and motorcycle accidents, sports accidents, medical or surgical procedures, stroke, slip-and-fall incidents, head injuries, violent crimes and physical abuse.  When a child is involved, these injuries can be especially challenging for families both emotionally and financially.  If your child suffered a spinal cord injury or medical procedure that led to paralysis, it's vital that you contact a San Fernando Valley children's injury attorney right away to assist you with your legal case. 

Each year approximately 10,000 Americans injure their spinal cord.  And while spinal cord injuries and paralysis can affect children, or even high-profile celebrities like the late Christopher Reeves, Senator Jim Langevin and others, studies show that men ages 19 to 26 are more likely to experience an accident or an act of violence that can lead to spinal cord damage and/or paralysis.   However, when a child is involved, the case is particularly tragic as their future is often forever altered from the accident.

There are many of types of paralysis that can affect many different parts or regions of the body.   Three types that are probably the most familiar to many people include Hemiplegia, which affects one side of the body, often due to a stroke;  Paraplegia, which affects both legs and the body's trunk; and Quadriplegia, which affects the body's trunk and both arms and legs.
