When a life-altering injury leads to paralysis, the impact extends far beyond physical limitations.

At Moseley Collins Law, we bring over 40 years of experience helping people across California rebuild their lives after devastating injuries.

Paralysis represents one of the most profound changes a person can experience. Whether resulting from a workplace accident, vehicle collision, or medical incident, the path forward requires both medical support and legal guidance. Our firm focuses exclusively on helping individuals who face these life-changing circumstances.

Understanding the different forms of paralysis helps clarify potential legal avenues. Each type presents unique challenges and considerations:

• Total loss of muscle function and sensation
• Often permanent without motor or sensory function
• Requires comprehensive lifetime care planning

• Partial preservation of motor or sensory function
• Varying degrees of movement capability
• May improve with rehabilitation and treatment

• Function may return over time
• Often related to inflammation or pressure
• Requires careful monitoring and documentation

• Irreversible loss of function
• Necessitates long-term care arrangements
• Impacts every aspect of daily living

In Del Norte County, several circumstances frequently lead to paralysis injuries requiring legal action:

Highway 101 and Highway 199 see their share of serious collisions. High-speed impacts can cause spinal cord injuries resulting in immediate or delayed paralysis. Our firm investigates every aspect of these accidents, from driver negligence to vehicle defects.

The logging, fishing, and maritime industries vital to Del Norte County's economy present inherent risks. Falls from heights, equipment malfunctions, and crushing injuries can lead to spinal damage. Workers deserve safe conditions and proper compensation when accidents occur.

Surgical errors, anesthesia complications, or delayed diagnosis can result in preventable paralysis. When medical professionals fail to meet standards of care, patients suffer consequences that last a lifetime.

With the Pacific Ocean, Smith River, and numerous outdoor recreation areas, Del Norte County attracts adventure seekers. Water sports accidents, diving injuries, and falls during hiking can cause severe spinal trauma.

Gunshot wounds and assault-related injuries represent another tragic cause of paralysis. Victims deserve support in pursuing justice and compensation.

Access to quality medical care remains crucial for paralysis patients. Here are key healthcare facilities serving our community:

Medical research continues advancing our understanding of paralysis and potential treatments. Recent studies from the National Institutes of Health explore innovative approaches including epidural stimulation of the spinal cord, which has shown promise in improving strength, function, and range of movement in paralyzed limbs.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke identifies four key principles in spinal cord repair research: neuroprotection, repair and regeneration, cell-based therapies, and neuroplasticity. These developments offer hope while underscoring the importance of securing resources for ongoing care.

Successfully pursuing a paralysis law suit requires thorough preparation and documentation:
