Quadriplegia
With the possible exception of traumatic brain injury, no injury to a person is more devastating than that to the spinal cord. When a victim’s spine is damaged above the C-4 vertebrae, the result is generally quadriplegia, or paralysis of the arms and legs. Because accident injuries of this sort generally are so devastating—and permanent—it is important for the victim to be represented by a New Jersey quadriplegia lawyer in order to receive the best compensation possible.
Quadriplegia Explained
Often termed “tetraplegia,” quadriplegia causes paralysis to the body below the area of the spinal cord that is damaged. C-4 vertebrae are located in the neck, so it is clear that if one suffers paralysis of this magnitude basic life issues can result, such as inability to breathe on one’s own. A New Jersey quadriplegia lawyer’s job in such a case is to help the victim gain sufficient compensation for life, since a return to normal activities and work are generally not possible.
Some quadriplegia injuries are incomplete; these occur at the C-5 vertebrae. A victim of incomplete quadriplegia may have partial paralysis to the four limbs. More commonly, though, the condition is complete. Related problems with quadriplegia include:
- Loss of bladder and bowel control
- Sexual dysfunction and infertility
- Respiratory difficulties
- Severe pain
Victims of the condition generally have shortened life spans as well.
Common Causes
While certain illnesses can lead to this condition, a New Jersey quadriplegia lawyer works with victims who have been injured in accidents due to another person’s negligence. Common accidental causes of the condition include:
- Motor vehicle crashes
- Slip and falls
- Boating accidents
- Sports
- Workplace accidents
Compensation
Because this condition is so serious, a New Jersey quadriplegia lawyer needs to take into account the fact that the victim’s life will probably never be the same. Therefore, a fair settlement may include:
- Medical costs, including projected life-long treatment
- Long-term physical therapy
- Counseling
- Medical equipment, such as wheelchairs and breathing machines
- Income, including the expected lifetime earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Punitive damages
If You Have Been Injured
If you become paralyzed in an accident caused by the negligence of another, New Jersey quadriplegia lawyer Dan Matrafajlo may be able to help. Mr. Matrafajlo is an experienced attorney who will fight to help you gain compensation. Call 908-248-4404 today to arrange a free consultation.
