Houston Law Firm
Personal Injury Attorney for Paralysis Victims

Paralysis can result from many situations such as spinal cord injuries, trauma, nerve damage in the neck and back, various illnesses and infection.

Tragically, you or your loved one may have sustained partial or complete paralysis due to the negligence of another person or entity. Paralysis can profoundly affect a person for the rest of their life. It has the potential to inhibit them from undertaking even simple, daily tasks that most people take for granted. Unfortunately, paralysis not only affects one’s physical abilities, but it can also have profound effects on one’s emotional and spiritual life. Medically, a paralyzed individual also may well encounter a shorter lifespan than that of an uninjured person. There are a few common ways that an individual can sustain paralysis and it has been seen in recent court cases.

The most common way to become paralyzed in all or a portion of your body is from trauma to the spinal cord. This can occur in a car collision, a vehicle rollover, from a defective or unsafe product, any sudden trauma to the head or neck, or even being thrown off of moving equipment in the workplace. Paralysis can also occur through other means such as nerve damage to a specific area of the body, a serious infection such as exposure to bacteria and viruses like botulism, a stroke, or other muscular disease. Many of these can occur from defective medications or drugs, product contamination, or the negligence of another person or entity which is described in more detail in some of our other practice areas.

Due to the extreme and life-altering nature of an injury resulting in paralysis, it is important to be fully compensated for your medical, employment, and other life-long losses. If you think that you or someone you know might be in a situation where they should pursue legal action against someone who harmed them, it is critical to contact an experienced personal injury attorney. Scott Callahan practices as a Houston, Texas Paralysis and Personal Injury Attorney.
