Compensation For Paralysis After a Workplace Accident
Paralysis After a Workplace Accident – Our Injury Lawyers Fight for the Resources Your Family Needs
If you have been paralyzed due to a work injury, our injury attorney wants to hear your story. William McBride is prepared to fight for justice and compensation on your behalf. He wants to make sure that injured workers get what they need in order to recover and heal from overwhelming personal injuries. After seeing his family fall victim to fraud at a young age, McBride dedicated the rest of his life to seeking justice for those who need it most.
Paralysis resulting from injuries to the brain or spinal cord is one of the most traumatic incidents a person can suffer. Spinal cord injuries cause paralysis when nerve fibers in the spinal column are severed or torn, creating the loss of sensation below the point of injury. Brain injuries can cause paralysis when skull contusions or compressions render a portion of the brain inoperable. Once damaged, brain or spinal tissue is not likely to recover, often leaving the injured party with the permanent loss of bodily function.
Can I File a Paralysis Lawsuit?
Personal injuries that cause paralysis can happen in almost any kind of job. However, occupations that are particularly susceptible to spinal cord injuries and brain injuries include:
- Construction workers
- Heavy machinery operators
- Drivers
- Furniture movers
- Mechanics
- Skyscraper window washers
- Day laborers
Apart from full or partial paralysis, lesser spinal injuries may result in a cervical herniated disk, which can cause ongoing pain in the neck, shoulders, arms and legs. This pain may be dull or severe depending on the injury, and could lead to partial or total paralysis of the affected nerve.
Unfortunately, workers who are paralyzed as the result of workplace injuries, such as a slip and fall accident, are not always awarded the compensation they deserve. In addition to the suffering caused by their injury, paralyzed workers may endure the hardship of having to fight tooth and nail against their employers to get what they need to pay for medical treatments, rehabilitation and lost wages. It is important to have a caring and compassionate injury attorney on your side, fighting for your rights.
