Each year in the United States, approximately 5000 people suffer a brain or spinal cord injury resulting in quadriplegia. Quadriplegia is when the nervous system suffers damage sufficient to cause paralysis in all four limbs. Additionally, as the chest and abdominal muscles are affected, breathing is generally impaired in a person suffering from quadriplegia.
Quadriplegia can result from, among other causes, automobile accidents, industrial accidents, offshore injuries, and other traumatic accidents resulting in damage to the brain and/or cervical spine. Our firm understands that the immediate goals for a person suffering from quadriplegia are to get medical bills paid, make sure you or your loved one do not suffer financially, and to make sure the appropriate insurance company will pay for future treatment. Our experienced attorneys at Morice Law Firm will be happy to discuss your situation and go over the options available to you to make sure all your needs are handled quickly and appropriately.
