Albuquerque Paraplegic Injury Lawyers
When a serious accident occurs, one of the most devastating injuries that results is a spinal cord injury. After sustaining a spinal cord injury, some victims are then afflicted with paraplegia and may have to adjust to a temporarily or permanently altered lifestyle.
What Is Paraplegia?
Paraplegia is the complete or incomplete loss of movement and/or sensation of the lower extremities following damage to the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions of the spine. Complete paraplegia means that the victim has no feeling or movement in the lower areas of the body; incomplete paraplegia allows the victim limited feeling and movement. Because of these losses (or partial losses), many victims rely on wheelchairs for mobility.
Knowing what paraplegia is and understanding its potentially life-altering effects is the first step in the personal injury claim process. Once you’ve been informed of your injuries, it’s time to discuss your eligibility for compensation from negligent parties.
