Did Negligence Cause Paralysis?

At Leopold & Associates, we represent clients who have become paralyzed through two distinct ways:

Medical malpractice - Trauma to the spinal cord can cause paralysis. Very rarely but very tragically, mistakes during surgery can put pressure on the nerves in the spinal cord. Paralysis due to malpractice can also involve:

Serious accidents - Serious personal injury accidents like car and motorcycle accidents and truck accidents can result in paralysis.

The High Cost of Paralysis

Paralytic syndrome requires a lifetime of care. Besides the initial medical costs associated with paralysis, victims will require physical therapy, assistive devices, and other medical treatments. The financial impact of paralysis can be devastating.

Aside from the financial cost of an injury resulting in paralysis, victims must deal with the emotional impact of becoming immobile. Our firm is sympathetic in our approach to helping accident victims. We will help you explore all your legal options for seeking maximum compensation after the accident that caused your injury.
