Common Causes of Paraplegia Injuries

Paraplegia is often the result of traumatic incidents that damage the spinal cord, leading to loss of movement and sensation in the lower body. Understanding the cause of your injury is vital for establishing liability and building a strong case. Common causes of paraplegia include:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car, motorcycle, and truck collisions are among the leading causes of spinal cord injuries resulting in paraplegia.
• Falls: Falls, particularly from significant heights, can lead to severe spinal injuries, especially in construction or worksite environments.
• Workplace Accidents: Unsafe conditions, lack of safety equipment, and other factors can lead to spinal injuries in physically demanding jobs.
• Sports and Recreational Injuries: High-impact sports and recreational activities can cause spinal trauma, leading to paraplegia.
• Violent Acts and Assaults: Acts of violence, such as gunshots or physical attacks, may result in spinal cord injuries and paralysis.
• Medical Malpractice: In rare cases, errors in medical procedures can lead to spinal cord damage, resulting in paraplegia.

Identifying the cause of your injury allows us to hold the responsible parties accountable and pursue fair compensation for the long-term impact of paraplegia.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Paraplegia Injuries?

In paraplegia cases, liability may rest with more than one party, depending on the circumstances. Peoples Community Law Center conducts comprehensive investigations to identify all liable parties, which may include:

• Negligent Drivers: In vehicle-related cases, the driver responsible for the accident may be held accountable.
• Employers: Employers may be liable for workplace injuries, especially if unsafe conditions or inadequate training were contributing factors.
• Property Owners: Property owners or managers can be held responsible for slip and fall injuries if they failed to maintain safe premises.
• Medical Professionals: In cases where medical malpractice led to paraplegia, the healthcare provider or facility may be liable.
• Product Manufacturers: If a defective product, such as safety equipment, caused or contributed to the injury, the manufacturer may share liability.
• Perpetrators of Violent Acts: If paraplegia was caused by an assault or violent act, the assailant may be held responsible, and third parties could share liability in some cases.

Our attorneys explore every potential source of liability to ensure that all responsible parties are held accountable and you receive the maximum compensation possible.

Common Complications and Challenges in Paraplegia Cases

Paraplegia affects nearly every aspect of a person’s life, from daily routines to long-term health. These challenges highlight the need for comprehensive compensation. Common complications and life changes associated with paraplegia include:

• Limited Mobility: Paraplegia affects lower body movement, often requiring wheelchairs or other mobility aids.
• Chronic Pain: Many paraplegia patients experience nerve pain or discomfort, requiring ongoing pain management.
• Bowel and Bladder Control Issues: Paralysis often affects bladder and bowel function, leading to ongoing medical needs.
• Skin Sensitivity and Ulcers: Loss of sensation can lead to pressure sores and infections without proper care and support.
• Mental Health Struggles: The psychological impact of paraplegia, including depression and anxiety, is common as individuals adjust to new limitations.
• Long-Term Care Needs: Many paraplegia patients require ongoing physical therapy, home modifications, and personal care assistance.

Understanding the full extent of these complications allows us to seek compensation that covers both immediate medical needs and long-term care.
