Types of Paralysis

Paralysis is classified by:

  • Location: Paralysis victims can experience a loss of feeling or sensation in one body part, such as a hand or their face, as well as entire regions of the body. This can include monoplegia (one area of the body), hemiplegia (same side of the body), paraplegia (below the waist), and quadriplegia (below the neck).
  • Severity: Paralysis can be either incomplete or complete. Incomplete paralysis means a person still has some control over the affected body part but may have chronic pain due to damage nerves. Complete paralysis means a person has no control or feeling in the affected body part.
  • Duration: Some forms of paralysis are temporary but require consistent and expensive medical treatment, such as surgery, physical therapy, and medications. In many cases, paralysis is permanent.

What Are Some Causes of Paralysis?

Severe trauma is the main cause of paralysis. Paralysis occurs when a nerve is severely stretched or torn (avulsed), whether that involves individual nerve cells in a body part or a bundle of nerves in the spinal cord. In most cases, a spinal cord injury will result in some form of paralysis. Depending on what part of the spine was damaged, a person may experience different degrees of paralysis.

In our decades of experience, the most common causes of paralysis include:

Treatment and Compensation for Paralysis

Some forms of paralysis are treatable with consistent care from experienced physicians. With incomplete paralysis, the patient may regain mobility through physical therapy, surgery, and medication, but he or she may still have to deal with chronic pain. In most cases, patients will get some assistance from prosthetics, canes, braces, or mobility devices to overcome their injury.

Even with extensive medical care, a patient may be looking at a harsh future and high medical costs. If your injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence, then you may be able to recover compensation for all the damages you have suffered through a personal injury claim. A personal injury claim can go far beyond just medical expenses and include the full financial and personal impact of the injury, such as your lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
