Life can change in an instant when a serious accident results in paralysis.

At Moseley Collins Law, we understand the profound impact paralysis has on every aspect of your life, and we're committed to helping you secure the compensation you deserve.

Paralysis represents one of the most catastrophic injuries a person can experience. This life-altering condition affects not just mobility but every aspect of daily living, from personal care to career prospects and family relationships.

Understanding the different types of paralysis helps in assessing the full scope of damages and future needs:

Complete vs. Partial Paralysis

• Complete Paralysis: Total loss of muscle function and sensation
• Partial Paralysis (Paresis): Some muscle control remains, but movement is limited

Location-Based Classifications

• Monoplegia: Affects one limb
• Hemiplegia: Impacts one side of the body
• Paraplegia: Affects both legs and potentially the lower body
• Quadriplegia/Tetraplegia: Involves all four limbs

Muscle Tone Classifications

• Flaccid Paralysis: Muscles become weak and loose
• Spastic Paralysis: Muscles tighten with involuntary movements

The costs associated with paralysis extend far beyond initial medical treatment. For a 25-year-old with high tetraplegia, the lifetime costs of medical care alone will exceed $4 million. These staggering expenses include:

• Emergency medical treatment
• Surgeries and hospital stays
• Rehabilitation and physical therapy
• Adaptive equipment and mobility devices
• Home modifications for accessibility
• Ongoing medical care and medications
• Personal care assistance
• Lost wages and earning capacity
