Paralysis and Spinal Cord Injuries

Baker, Burton & Lundy: Award-Winning Southern California Personal Injury Attorneys Who Care

Paralysis is the loss of muscle function in one or more muscles, and may also include loss of feeling (sensory loss) in the affected area. It is most often caused by damage to the spinal cord. A spinal cord may be damaged by stroke, trauma or disease, but a spinal cord injury is caused by trauma rather than a health condition. Depending on where the spinal cord and nerve roots are damaged, the symptoms can vary widely, including:

Paralysis
Loss of motor functions or sensation in the limbs or other body parts
Loss of manual dexterity
Loss of reflexes or balance
Difficulty breathing
Pain in the neck or spine
Loss of bowel or bladder control
Loss of sexual function

If the negligence of another has caused any of these conditions, we want to help you receive compensation for the impact this has had on your life and the lives of loved ones.
