Paralysis Accident Attorney

Paralysis Accident Attorney


​Accidental injuries affecting the spinal cord are among the most devastating that a person can experience. When there is an injury to the spine, or backbone, the body’s ability to transmit information back and forth between the brain and other bodily systems is damaged, often resulting in partial or total paralysis of the limbs. This can and usually does forever change a person’s life.
Our paralysis accident attorney represents individuals who have paraplegia or quadriplegia injuries.  Contact our lawyer at 713-829-4317. Protected by your neck and backbone, your spinal cord is a cord of nerves that runs from your brain down the spine to your waist. The spinal cord affects the nerves that control your sense of feeling and mobility, so an injury along the spinal cord an impact your ability to move all or parts of your body. At the Pascoe Law Firm, we represent people throughout Texas who have experienced paralysis due to spinal cord injury. Our lawyers use extensive experience to achieve favorable outcomes in these serious cases. ​

Paraplegia vs. Quadriplegia

Depending on which part of the spinal cord is damaged, spinal cord injury victims can experience different losses of function. Injuries high up on the spinal cord often result in quadriplegia, while injuries lower down the spinal cord can result in paraplegia:
  • Paraplegia: When the mid to lower back area of the spinal cord is damaged, the resulting injury could lead to paralysis of the legs and requiring the need for a wheelchair. Most paraplegics will still have full function of their upper bodies, including their legs and torsos.
  • Quadriplegia: When the spinal cord is damaged in the upper back or neck area, the resulting injury could lead to paralysis of the entire body, including the legs, arms, hands and fingers. In extreme cases, the ability to move your neck or head may be impaired as well.

​​What Is Quadriplegia?

When an injury to the spinal cord takes place in the cervical section of the spinal column, usually above the C-8 vertebrae. The higher the injury, often the more the arm and hands may be affected. C1-C4 injuries will generally have more arm and hand paralysis and loss of function from the neck down. C5-C8 may have more sensation or movement in the arms and not require a ventilator for breathing. However, all quadriplegics have some loss of function in their fingers or hands. 
As a general rule, the closer the spinal cord injury is to the brain, the more significant the injury. An injury to the cervical area (neck) may result in quadriplegia, which is defined as the inability to voluntarily move the body’s upper and lower parts including the chest, arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, and toes, and in some cases, shoulders, neck, and head.
