Paralysis is the result of damage to the spinal cord and brain. It can be caused by a traumatic injury, such as a car accident, or by more subtle events, such as medical malpractice. In either case, damage to the spinal cord will usually leave a victim unable to work, care for a family, or even care for themselves. Often the injury will lead to long-term health care needs and may require in-house assisted care.

The Ohio and Kentucky lawyers at The Lawrence Firm, PSC, advocate for people who have experienced paralysis because of medical negligence and error. Such a significant injury at the hands of a medical provider demands compensation for medical bills and expenses, lost wages and all the other costs associated with a catastrophic injury such as paralysis.
