Los Angeles Quadriplegia Injury Accident Lawyers

Many types of accidents can result in quadriplegia injuries and various medical treatments can result in a tetraplegia injury.  A Los Angeles Quadriplegia accident generally occurs when someone suffers an injury to any one of their seven cervical vertebrae.  Quadriplegics generally lose feeling and movement in all of their limbs - both legs and arms.  As the type of accident which could cause someone to suffer a quadriplegia injury may be catastrophic, the injured person may experience:

• loss of bladder control;
• loss of bowel control;
• loss of fertility;
• muscle spasm;
• severe pain; and
• shortened lifespan.

Quadriplegia injuries are differentiated from paraplegia injuries, where paraplegia is generally paralysis in the legs where quadriplegia may result in paralysis from the injured person's neck down.  While quadriplegia injuries can result from car accidents and motorcycle crashes, they are also very common as a result of the negligence or carelessness of medical professionals, such as doctors or nurses.  During a surgery, if a doctor injures or breaks a vertebrae, you may be paralyzed for life as a quadriplegic.
