Paralysis

Paralysis can be the result of a multitude of accidents causing different extents of paralysis. The impact on the injured person’s quality of life is dependent on the severity.

Many people with paralysis that affects their lower limbs (paraplegia) can lead a relatively independent life with the use of a wheelchair whereas those with quadriplegia need a great deal of support and require the help of carers.

Along with many other factors the extent of paralysis will affect the compensation you can claim for your injuries. If you or a loved one has been left with paralysis following an accident which wasn’t your fault then speak to one of our professionals for more information about starting a claim.
