Paralysis in any form is beyond life altering. Depending on the severity, the victim of paralysis will likely need lifetime full time attendant care and specialized medical care and physical therapy for life. These basic needs are often dwarfed by the severe loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life and mental anguish the victim of paralysis will experience for the remainder of their life.
Paralysis can result from a multitude of causes, including motor vehicle accidents, , pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, motorcycle and recreational vehicle accidents, commercial vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents, sports accidents, premises security incidents, boating and cruise ship incidents, amongst others.
