Paraplegia Injury Attorney in Des Moines

Paraplegia Claims in Mason City, Cedar Rapids, and Des Moines

The consequences of a catastrophic injury are, without a doubt, one of the most difficult things that you can suffer from in life. When that catastrophic injury leads to paraplegia, it becomes an even more difficult injury to overcome. Paraplegia is paralysis that usually occurs from the waist down, although it can sometimes affect the trunk of the body (but never the arms). Usually the result of trauma of some sort, such as a car accident, a fall from elevated heights or a slip and fall, paraplegia stems from a spinal cord injury of some kind. The severity of the paralysis is completely dependent on the extent of the damage to the spinal cord. At some levels, sensation and control is retained to a certain degree, while for the more extreme cases it is completely lost. If you or a loved one have paraplegia due to the recklessness, carelessness or negligence of another party, it is imperative that you contact a Des Moines personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to begin discussing your case.
