Quadriplegia is one of the most devastating conditions a person can become afflicted with. It requires not only the victim but also his or her family members and other loved ones to adjust every facet of their lives to the new reality. Whether the injury was caused by a tractor trailer accident, a DUI accident, the failure of a defective product, or any other personal injury, the results are life-changing. Besides the very great personal toll, the economic damages can become severe as well. Medical costs and lost wages add up quickly, and the victim’s home may need to be remodeled to accommodate wheelchairs. Because of this financial hardship, many quadriplegics who have suffered due to the negligence of another party find that legal action is a necessary part of the road to recovery. Our firm serves the northeastern Pennsylvania region, including the Pocono Mountains area, with personal injury attorney services that can help you obtain the monetary restitution you need and deserve.
Quadriplegia usually stems from severe trauma to the spinal cord. Thus, most people who become quadriplegic do so after experiencing a major personal injury. Since the spinal cord serves as the only line of communication between the brain and the majority of the body, damage to it can result in significant loss of function in other organs, especially the voluntary muscles that move the arms, legs, and core.
Contrary to what some believe, a full severing of the spinal cord is not necessary to cause quadriplegia; even if the nerve bundle remains largely intact, enough harm can occur to cause full or partial paralysis. Furthermore, a broken neck or back will not necessarily lead to a major spinal cord injury, though it often does. When quadriplegia does occur, the condition is virtually irreversible. Intensive therapy may restore some lost movement, but usually only a very small amount. Serving northeastern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains region, our firm can provide a skilled personal injury attorney to anyone who suffers from quadriplegia as a result of someone else’s failure to act in a safe and responsible manner.
