William R. Rawlings & Associates have handled numerous traumatic injuries for thousands of clients. We have handled everything from soft tissue neck and back, whiplash injuries to brain and head injuries, as well as paraplegic and quadriplegic injuries.
Paralysis is the term that describes an individual’s loss of strength in a limb or muscle group. Paralysis can affect an individual’s mobility to a great extent. Axiomatic brain injury (stroke) and spinal cord injuries are the major causes of paralysis. The extent of the paralysis depends on the severity of the stroke or the location of the spinal cord injury. Paralysis can be permanent or temporary. Paralysis can severely disrupt an individual’s life causing a large amount of pain and suffering, financial difficulties due to medical bills and expenses and loss of job ability and emotional difficulties and loss of life’s enjoyment.
We have seen clients who have sustained severe neck and spinal injuries which led to surgical intervention. At times it was during the surgical intervention that the paralysis and/or stroke occurred. Paralysis is a permanent condition that will require specialized treatment generally for the life of the injured party. While some patients and families do not wish to pursue for the paralysis suffered, the financial strain the paralysis can cause can become quite extensive. William R. Rawlings & Associates will not be able to reverse any physical damage but can help a family with medical costs, paralysis treatment costs, pain and suffering and life care planning.
