Paraplegia and Traumatic Amputation—Orange County, California
At the time of our births, most of us are blessed with normally functioning appendages and spinal cords. There are exceptions, of course, caused by complications during the birthing process, but it generally takes a serious accident to cause a loss in the use of appendages or the spinal cord.
Paraplegia
After a serious accident resulting in a severe spinal cord injury, many victims are afflicted with paraplegia. Paraplegia is an impairment in motor or sensory function of the lower extremities resulting from damage to the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions of the spine. The condition generally leaves individuals dependent upon wheelchairs for mobility.
If another person’s negligence has caused you to sustain a serious spinal cord injury resulting in paraplegia, you may be eligible for compensation for your injuries.
Traumatic Amputation
If an accident caused by someone else’s negligence has resulted in a traumatic amputation of an extremity, consult our experienced Orange County, California personal injury lawyers. Whether it’s from a construction accident or serious auto accident, losing the use of a limb is catastrophic and life-changing; you deserve compensation for your injury.
Common Causes of Paraplegia and Traumatic Amputation
