Paralysis
Paralysis is medically defined as the loss of function of one or more muscles groups. When a person experiences paralysis, he/she will lose feeling in the affected area. This loss of feeling may be temporary or it may be permanent.
For most people suffering from paralysis, the paralysis was caused by or related to either a brain injury, spinal cord injury, or some sort of neurological disorder. Once paralysis sets in, it may stay within a certain muscle group, or migrate to other regions. This is common for people who are suffering from quadriplegia, triplegia, or paraplegia.
Paralysis Causes
Temporary and permanent paralysis can result from a variety of medical conditions, which may include, but are not limited to:
- brain injuries
- spinal cord injuries
- stroke
- head trauma
- spinal bifida
- multiple sclerosis
- nervous system disorders
- neurological disorders
Paralysis & Personal Injury Law
According to Florida personal injury law, any person who has become paralyzed as a result of another person’s negligence may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit to collect monetary compensation for their catastrophic injury. Before a person decides to file a personal injury lawsuit involving paralysis, it is a wise idea for him/her to consult with a skilled personal injury lawyer who is experienced in catastrophic injury cases.
