Paralysis is the inability to perform voluntary physical movements due to the loss of muscle control. When an individual suffers a serious injury, there may be damage to the muscles or nervous system which may result in paralysis. There are different forms of paralysis that a person may experience which may affect one area of the body or the entire body. The following are different forms of paralysis:
- Diplegia is paralysis of the same body part on both sides of the body (paralysis of both arms or both legs)
- Hemiplegia is paralysis of one side of the body (either right or left side)
- Monoplegia is paralysis of one limb
- Paraplegia is partial or total paralysis of the legs
- Quadriplegia is paralysis of all four limbs (paralysis of both arms and legs)
Each year thousands of people in the United States experience spinal cord injuries and become paralyzed due to serious accidents, many of which are work-related. Slip and fall accidents, motor vehicle crashes, and violence are some of the main causes for paralysis, and these and other accidents can and do occur at work. If you become paralyzed, you will have to live with many physical limitations and may no longer be able to perform your work duties. You may experience strains in your personal relationships and have difficulties performing daily tasks. You may require surgeries, physical therapy, a wheel chair or other assistive devices and additional costly products and services to assist you.
If you have suffered a work accident that resulted in partial or complete paralysis, please contact a South Carolina paralysis attorney to learn about your rights. With our extensive legal knowledge of paralysis and personal injury law, we may be able to recover monetary compensation for your injuries and accident-related expenses.
