Quadriplegic Injury Lawyer in Milwaukee

Milwaukee Car Accident Attorney for Quadriplegic Injuries

Tragically, spinal cord injuries from car accidents can cause permanent paralysis for accident victims. Cervical (neck) injuries often result in paralysis of all four limbs, a condition known as quadriplegia or tetraplegia. If you or a loved one has suffered from paralysis, call our office now for a free case evaluation.

According to the Foundation for Spinal Cord Injury and Prevention (FSCIP), 42% of all spinal cord injuries since 2005 have been caused by motor vehicle accidents.

Among reported spinal cord injury cases, 50.5% are quadriplegic. In the U.S., 12,000 new spinal cord injury cases are reported every year.

The extent of disability from quadriplegic injuries depends on how severe the damage is to the spinal cord, the level of the injury, and the precise area of the spinal cord affected by the injury.

Quadriplegia can be complete or incomplete. According to the Mayo Clinic, when almost all feeling and motor function are lost below the level of the spinal cord injury, it is complete quadriplegia. If some ability to control movement and sensation remains below the injured area, it is incomplete quadriplegia.

If you or a loved one has suffered traffic crash injuries resulting in quadriplegia, it is important to consult with our Milwaukee car accident attorneys as soon as possible after your accident.

Causes of Quadriplegic Car Accident Injuries

shutterstock_196946585 A sudden blow to the spine that dislocates, fractures, crushes, or compresses one or more vertebrae may cause spinal cord injury. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Cervical spinal cord injuries can occur in any number of ways in automobile accidents. The roof of a vehicle can collapse in a rollover accident, causing cervical spinal cord injury to the occupants.

A traumatic blow to the spine from the impact of a head on or side impact collision can result in quadriplegia. The spine can be crushed in a single vehicle off the road accident or severely damaged when a passenger or driver is thrown from the vehicle.
