When paralysis occurs, it means nerve cells that traverse the spinal column, signaling muscles to move, are unable to signal below where the spinal cord is crushed or severed. The different forms of paralysis include:
Different forms of paralysis require different levels of compensation. While you may adapt and even work with monoplegia, quadriplegia requires much more compensation to fulfill your needs. Our Montgomery paralysis injury attorneys gather and use proof to convince insurance companies and juries to grant you the money you are owed.
We study medical and police records, witness testimony, video or still camera footage of an accident, and consult expert witnesses if necessary to build the best case for the most compensation. We have connections with medical experts and financial professionals in the areas, whose consultation could be used to strengthen your claim.
