New Jersey Paraplegia Lawyers

While any physical injury has the potential to complicate an individual’s life and to cause serious pain, some injuries may permanently alter the course of one’s personal and professional life. Spinal cord injuries are prone to being especially severe as they may leave a victim suffering from paralysis. Many sufferers of spinal cord injuries are afflicted with partial paralysis, or paraplegia.

Spinal cord injuries are often the consequence of a negligent party’s actions. If you or someone you love has been forced to cope with partial paralysis because of another person’s negligence, contact the New Jersey paraplegia lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., P.C., at 800-346-5529.

Causes and Effects

Paraplegia is most frequently associated with physical trauma affecting an individual’s spinal cord, although non-physical factors, such as illness or genetic defects, may also cause this debilitating condition. Paraplegia refers to the loss of function and senses in the lower extremities. This means that individuals who suffer from paraplegia cannot use or feel their legs and therefore cannot stand or walk independently.

This can interfere with a spinal cord injury victim’s ability to gain or retain meaningful employment; it can have severely adverse effects upon a person’s self-esteem; and it can make it impossible for someone to live alone. Such broad and harmful effects resulting from another party’s negligence should not be permitted to pass without a legal response.
