The Person or Business Who Caused Your Paralysis Should Be Held Accountable

New Orleans Paralysis Lawyer

Paralysis is a type of catastrophic injury often resulting from serious accidents or medical conditions. While paralysis may be temporary in some cases, in many it is a permanent life-altering injury like paraplegia or quadriplegia.


If you or a loved one has been paralyzed following a brain or spinal cord injury caused by someone else’s negligence, you could be entitled to compensation. Find out more about this type of personal injury claim from a New Orleans paralysis lawyer.


What Are the Most Common Causes of Paralysis?


Paralysis can be caused by a variety of spinal cord injuries, many of which may be sustained in auto accidents. Common accidents causing paralysis include:


Other kinds of accidents are also prone to causing paralysis, including:


Finally, paralysis may also occur due to hospital errors or medical malpractice, or as a result of nursing home abuse or neglect. 

Insurance Companies Are Not Charities

Insurance companies are in business to make money, and they maintain record profits by maximizing the premium payments they receive while minimizing the claim payments they pay to filers and injury victims. They’re not charities, and they have added incentive to fight claims that could result in particularly large losses for their bottom line.


The most expensive types of claims by far are catastrophic injury claims, especially those that have far-reaching consequences like paralysis injuries. Victims may have long-term care costs resulting from extremely high surgical costs, hospital stays, rehabilitation, occupational therapy, and continuing care.


Families may also have millions of dollars in other expenses ranging from lost wages and earnings potential to loss of consortium and long-term childcare costs. Every aspect of life becomes more expensive after suffering a disability, and it’s important you and your family receive the funds you need to move on with your life.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Louisiana Paralysis Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Are the Long-Term Effects of Paralysis?

    Paralysis can have devastating long-term effects on its victims. Some may be lucky enough to be able to recover their ability to walk through extensive physical therapy and rehabilitation, while others may be permanently disabled. 


    This type of injury can affect every aspect of your life, including your ability to work, care for your family, and complete day-to-day tasks. In severe cases, it may require extensive hospital stays, mounting medical bills, and long-term care or hospice. 


    Those trying to cope with the effects of paralysis may also face significant chronic pain and psychological issues stemming from their traumatic injury, such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD.

  • What Kind of Compensation Is Available to Paralysis Victims?

    If your spinal injury results in any kind of paralysis and the injury itself is a result of someone else’s negligent or reckless actions—that is, someone caused a car accident or unsafe conditions that led to a work injury or slip and fall—it is very likely that you are entitled to compensation for your injuries. 


    This compensation can go beyond just your immediate medical expenses. Examples of the compensation that may be available to you after suffering a paralyzing injury include:

    • Medical bills, including those for ongoing care, rehabilitation, etc.
    • Lost wages, including future wages if you are permanently disabled
    • Pain and suffering, including both the physical pain you have endured as well as the psychological impact of your injuries
    • Loss of consortium
    • Reduced quality of life
    • In cases of wrongful death, compensation for end-of-life care and funeral expenses

  • Do I Need a New Orleans Paralysis Lawyer?

    If you’ve been in a car accident in which the other driver was determined to be at fault, you may have already received some kind of settlement offer from the other driver’s insurance company. Perhaps you felt that the offer was low in light of the seriousness of your injuries. 


    In other cases, no settlement offer may have been made to you at all, and no legal charges were filed in spite of the fact that someone else is responsible for your injuries. 


    In any of these cases, the best course of action may be to consult a New Orleans paralysis lawyer as soon as possible after the injury occurs.
