Paralysis can be caused by a variety of factors, but the root factor is almost always nerve damage, particularly nerve damage to the spinal cord. Traumatic injury which either severs or damages the central nervous system is a common cause of paralysis for victims of serious bodily injury. Other causes include stroke, cerebral palsy, ALS, botulism, Multiple Sclerosis, and more.
In order to recover damages for your injuries resulting in paralysis, our Northeast Philadelphia attorneys will first strive to understand the nature of your condition. Variations on paralysis can include:
Finding fault and liability for your personal injury claim is heavily dependent on the nature of your case. As mentioned above, in order to successfully settle or conclude a personal injury claim, our Bucks County lawyers must prove that your injuries were the result of an accident caused by the negligent or reckless actions of another party.
For example, an accident caused by a drunk driver would almost certainly result in the drunk driver being found at fault for any resulting injuries. Pennsylvania adheres to “comparative negligence” statutes, which state that even if the claimant is partially at fault for the accident at hand, he or she may still be eligible for compensation.
In a slip and fall accident, we may aim to show that the property owner or manager is liable for your injuries through a premises liability claim. Store owners, residential homeowners, even government entities are responsible for maintaining a safe and secure environment for patrons or visitors. Failure to do so may lead to a successful personal injury claim.
No matter what circumstances led to your injury resulting in paralysis, our Bucks County personal injury lawyers will strive to hold the appropriate parties liable in order to recover the financial compensation you need and deserve.
If you have been seriously injured in an accident, there are a few steps you can take to put you and your family in a good legal position regarding future personal injury claims. Victims of paralysis are often awarded large settlements for personal injury claims, and by taking these simple actions, you will be ensured that you are not compromising your case.
Seek immediate medical attention. Getting a diagnosis from a doctor is essential in not only beginning your recovery process, but also within your personal injury claim. Our Levittown lawyers must show that your paralysis was the direct result of your injurious accident. The faster you receive the diagnosis, the stronger the connection
Do not sign anything. In fact, it might be a great idea to not respond to communications from insurance companies or other outside entities at all before speaking to a personal injury attorney. Insurance providers will often try to settle claims quickly and cheaply to avoid paying claimants the full and fair amount they are owed
Contact a personal injury attorney. Finally, securing the legal services of an experienced personal injury law firm is essential to both protect your legal rights and give yourself the best chance at a recovery for lost damages.
