Paraplegia is the loss of movement of the lower part of the body, essentially
from the waist down. While quadriplegia is the loss of movement of a person’s
arms and legs and essentially, the loss of control of muscles from the neck
down, paraplegia is still the result of major damage to a person’s
spine.
Paraplegia is also paralysis.However it is paralysis of the lower
body.In addition, when one has suffered paraplegia, they may also incur injuries
to other parts of their bodies, especially when the cause of the paraplegia is a
car accident, work injury, violence, sporting injury or as the result of a fall.
Often paraplegia results as a consequence of someone’s negligence.That
negligence may be the negligence of another driver, a co-worker, the
manufacturer of a dangerous product or machinery.Even where negligence isn’t
necessarily involved, paraplegia can be the result of working in a dangerous
situation, such as on a fishing vessel that by virtue of its condition is deemed
to be the cause of the injury under the Jones Act.
Paraplegic injuries
are normally due to an injury to the spinal cord and what is often referred to
as an orthopedic injury.Such injuries often occur in connection with horrific
auto or motorcycle accidents, bicycle or truck accidents, bus, pedestrian and
airplane accidents and even in unexpected situations such as a slip and fall
that can have unforeseen consequences.
Paraplegia also often causes
additional symptoms such as the loss of bladder control, loss of sexual
function, back spasms and a shortened life expectancy. The financial and
emotional toll on a person suffering from paraplegia can also cause severe
emotional trauma.

paraplegia, or that of a loved one, is due to the actions / negligence of
