How Severe is Your Paralysis?

Depending on the severity of your injury, you may retain some level of motor and sensory function below the site of the injury. Depending on the level of function that remains, your paralysis can be classified in one of two ways:

  • Complete Paralysis: You have lost all motor and sensory function below the site of your injury.
  • Incomplete Paralysis: You have retained some level of motor and sensory function below the site of your injury.

Whether your paralysis is considered incomplete or complete, the location of the injury can determine what type of paralysis you have:

  • Quadriplegia: This type of paralysis affects your entire body from the neck down, and may be referred to as tetraplegia by your doctor.
  • Paraplegia: This type of paralysis affects your body from your legs up through as high as your lower trunk.

Everything from the way you live your life, the activities you participate in, and even the way you feed yourself may change depending on how serious your paralysis is. However, even the least severe level of paralysis still means that you are suffering from paralysis, one of the most serious and debilitating medical conditions that will result in millions of dollars’ worth of medical bills, treatment, accommodation, transportation, and care. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, you may be able to file a lawsuit in order to secure compensation to cover your bills, as well as any lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages you may have incurred.
