Paralysis Injuries: What You Need To Know
Paralysis is a catastrophic injury that causes partial or complete loss of voluntary movement in one or more areas of the body. Paralysis is widely recognized as catastrophic because of its permanent, life-altering effects. Vehicle crashes, falls and medical errors are among the most common causes.
Paralysis injuries take many forms, including:
- Paraplegia: Loss of function in the lower body
- Quadriplegia: Loss of function in all four limbs
- Hemiplegia: Loss of function on one side of the body
- Incomplete paralysis: Partial loss of movement or sensation
Living with paralysis reshapes your daily life. Lifetime care costs often reach into the millions, depending on the severity and your evolving needs. You deserve a recovery that accounts for everything this injury has taken from you.
What Compensation Can You Recover In A Paralysis Case?
A paralysis injury claim reaches far beyond your immediate medical bills. Illinois law allows you to seek full compensation for every way this injury has changed your life. You may be entitled to recover:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Home and vehicle modifications
- Assistive devices and adaptive equipment
- In-home and long-term care costs
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Illinois typically allows two years to file a personal injury claim, though exceptions may apply, so acting early matters. We dig deep into every case to identify every party who shares responsibility for what happened to you. Holding all of them accountable is often what makes the difference in a paralysis case.
