Lifelong Effects of Paraplegia

Paraplegia is a condition that describes a person’s total loss of motor and sensory function below the waist. It is most often caused by injury to the spinal cord but may also develop because of hereditary or congenital causes.

Paraplegic patients will likely require the use of a wheelchair for the rest of their lives, and will need ongoing care and assistance. Sometimes, paraplegia also requires home modifications in order to live more comfortably. Some level of loss in independence is common in paraplegia, which may also result in mental health challenges. Our empathetic attorneys understand the catastrophic nature of this condition, and will help you seek financial recovery to cover or offset the costs associated with it.

Workers’ Compensation and Paraplegia

Paraplegia sufferers injured in a workplace accident in Indiana may be eligible to receive workers’ compensation. Damages can cover lost income and most medical expenses following a workplace accident. However, injured parties need excellent legal representation with attorneys familiar with paraplegia to ensure the compensation provided will cover these expenses.

Establishing Liability in Paraplegia Cases

Our lawyers will review the case to establish liability in work injury cases, which may fall on the employer for failing to maintain a safe working environment. In some paraplegia cases, a third party may be liable for damages. Third parties might include:

• Another driver in an auto accident
• The manufacturer of faulty machinery

Our attorneys will explore all possible at-fault parties.
