Atlanta - Macon - Columbus - Savannah - Augusta

For many, it is the fulfillment of their worst nightmare: a devastating car accident or malpractice leaves them paraplegic, quadriplegic, or paralyzed in some way. One of the most precious things any human being has is his or her health. Most people take the simple everyday functions of the human body for granted… until they’re gone.

About Paraplegia and Quadriplegia
Since the year 2000, automobile crashes account for almost 47 percent of spinal cord injuries in the United States. Other common causes include falls, sports injuries, medical malpractice, and violence.

Paraplegia occurs when the spinal column is damaged, compromising motor skills in the legs and arms. Some paraplegic patients regain the ability to walk with assistance, but many must use wheelchairs to become mobile. Paraplegia and quadriplegia are also associated with other medical complications, including incontinence, pressure sores or bedsores, decubitus ulcers, deep vein thrombosis, blood clots, and seizures.
Recent advances in medicine have revealed better treatments for spinal cord injury patients, reducing the length of time patients must spend in the hospital after an accident, and improving the quality of life for those who are paralyzed. Hospital emergency rooms are also better equipped to immobilize and treat accident victims in such a way that spinal cord and brain injuries do not become worse. 

Sometimes, even the best doctors and physicians cannot undo the damaging effects of a car accident or medical malpractice. When you’re faced with disfigurement, dismemberment, paralysis, or other serious and debilitating injuries, only you will ever fully understand how challenging your recovery truly is. In order to truly focus on your health, you shouldn’t have to worry about medical bills and expenses, or the skyrocketing costs of treatment. At a time like this, you need moral support and a chance for significant financial compensation.

An attorney experienced in handling severe injuries can pursue that financial compensation for all effects of your injuries, including:

• Pain and suffering
  
• Lost income and diminished earning capacity
  
• Long-term and lifetime medical costs, including in-home care
  
• Current medical bills and expenses
