Paralysis is the loss of muscle function in part of the body, often including the loss of sensation in the affected area. These injuries can range from temporary to permanent, partial to complete, and may affect various parts of the body depending on the location and severity of the damage to the nervous system.

Different forms of paralysis affect different parts of the body:

• Monoplegia: Paralysis affecting one limb
• Hemiplegia: Paralysis affecting one side of the body
• Paraplegia: Paralysis affecting both legs and sometimes parts of the lower torso
• Quadriplegia/Tetraplegia: Paralysis affecting all four limbs and usually the entire body from the neck down
• Diplegia: Paralysis affecting the same area on both sides of the body
• Facial Paralysis: Paralysis affecting facial muscles

Several incidents can lead to paralysis-related personal injury claims in Arcadia and throughout Los Angeles County:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car, motorcycle, and truck collisions are leading causes of spinal cord injuries
• Construction Site Accidents: Falls from heights and equipment mishaps on construction sites
• Medical Malpractice: Surgical errors, anesthesia complications, or birth injuries
• Slip and Fall Incidents: Dangerous property conditions leading to serious falls
• Sports Injuries: Particularly in high-impact or contact sports
