Paralysis, Paraplegia & Quadriplegia in Philadelphia Malpractice Cases
While most people associate paralysis with severe accidents such as car crashes and steep falls, medical malpractice and other medical related mistakes can also result in paralysis. Losing the use of your limbs through medical malpractice can be especially troubling because doctors and surgeons should protect us from harm, not inflict it. Paralysis can result from surgical mistakes, negligence, brain trauma or injury,
birth injuries, anesthesia complications, and even as a consequence of a bad reaction to certain medications. If you have been paralyzed or partially paralyzed as a result of a medical mistake, you should seek out a
Philadelphia medical malpractice attorney without delay.
Paraplegia and quadriplegia refer to the area affected by paralysis. These two types of paralysis designate the extent to which a person is paralyzed. Paralysis below the abdomen is called paraplegia and entails the loss of use of both legs and in some instances the bowel and bladder. Quadriplegia entails paralysis below the neck. A quadriplegic has complete paralysis of the arms, legs, bladder, and bowel. Living with paralysis can be strenuous and the cost of medical treatment and therapy can be more than most can afford. Seeking compensation for medical malpractice related paralysis is absolutely essential.
