what is a paraplegia injury?
Paraplegia is the term used for a spinal cord injury affecting the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions of the spinal cord. Every year in the U.S., there are approximately 11,000 new spinal cord injuries every year, with 46.3% of persons with a spinal cord injury suffering paraplegia. Paraplegia can result from many different contributors, but most commonly paraplegia can be due to vehicle accidents, falls, violence, and sports due to negligence. The costs associated to paraplegia can be extensive. Some people feel the idea of pursing a paraplegia lawsuit will only be additional pain and suffering after such a hard time, but many also fail to realize the costs associated to paraplegia. The average costs endured because of a paraplegia accident at the age of 25 are $428,000 by 1990 standards. Experienced and knowledgeable paraplegia lawyers are able to recover damages suffered, as well as future damages that will be caused due to the paraplegia injury. Contact us to confer with a paraple
