Jackson

Paralysis Injury Attorney

Paralysis is a life-altering condition that can result from accidents, trauma, or medical negligence. Losing the ability to move or feel parts of your body impacts every aspect of daily life, from work to personal care to emotional well-being. I represent clients in Jackson, Hinds County, and throughout Mississippi who have suffered paralysis due to someone else’s negligence, helping them secure compensation for medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care.

Causes of Paralysis

Paralysis can occur from a variety of accidents and injuries, including:

• Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents – High-impact collisions often cause spinal cord injuries that result in paralysis.
• Workplace accidents – Construction or industrial incidents involving machinery or falls from heights.
• Slip and fall accidents – Falls on unsafe property, especially in public places or businesses.
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) – Severe head trauma can damage nerves and lead to paralysis.
• Medical malpractice – Errors during surgery or treatment can result in permanent nerve damage.

Regardless of the cause, paralysis often requires lifelong medical attention and drastically alters a person’s life.

The Impact of Paralysis

Paralysis affects both physical and emotional health:

• Loss of mobility or function in limbs
• Dependence on caregivers or medical equipment
• Chronic pain or secondary health issues
• Emotional distress, depression, and anxiety
• Financial strain from medical bills and lost income

Because of the severity, obtaining full compensation is critical for quality of life.

Legal Options for Paralysis Victims

Mississippi law allows victims of paralysis caused by negligence to seek compensation for:

• Medical treatment and rehabilitation costs
• Prosthetics or adaptive equipment
• Lost wages and future earning potential
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Long-term care and home modifications

Proving negligence often requires medical experts, accident reconstruction, and thorough investigation. I guide clients through this process from start to finish.
