You are paralyzed.

A paralysis lawyer or attorney can help

Paralysis lawyers at Jim S. Adler & Associates are highly skilled and experienced in handling such cases and in defying the defense lawyers of insurance companies or those who are responsible for such accidents. Adler paralysis lawyers have represented such victims and their families in various accidents and have helped them get their deserved compensation and protect their rights.

The defense counsel for an insurance company will try very hard to defy your case. But a paralysis attorney from Jim S. Adler & Associates can counter such defenses and aggressively assert evidence to prove you have suffered due to another’s negligence.

A paralysis patient requires much care, from feeding to bathing. Many require steady attention by nurses or other health professionals, and such care may be very costly. Also costly can be tests, medications and medical expenses, not to mention the funds needed to support a paralysis victim’s family. With this in mind, inadequate compensation for a paralysis injury is unacceptable.

An Adler paralysis lawyer will discuss the case in detail with you and also interview other people with facts related to the accident. The paralysis lawyer will collect evidence, talk to witnesses and physicians, visit the site of the accident and gather all information possible regarding the case. This will enable the paralysis lawyer to be as fully prepared as possible to handle your case, either in court or via an out-of-court settlement.

Paralysis accidents don’t just happen to average people. Famed actors and celebrities also have been victims, including Christopher Reeve, the actor best known for taking the title role in four Superman films. Reeve was thrown from his horse during a riding event and broke two vertebrae in his spine. That left him paralyzed from the neck down, and he was wheel chair-ridden for the rest of his life.

But Reeve fought back against his misfortune, creating with his wife the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation to raise research money and provide grants to those seeking to improve the quality of life of disabled people.

Other paralysis accidents may involve car, truck or motorcycle wrecks, as well as slip and fall accidents, accidents at construction sites, or injuries suffered in sports activities.

Indeed, one of the most tragic outcomes of motorcycle and car accidents is paralysis. Such accidents may occur due to the negligence of highway construction companies, of drivers of vehicles and of employers or contractors. In any of these cases, an Adler paralysis attorney can seek your just compensation from those whose negligence places them at fault.

Unlike many injuries, paralysis often tends to be permanent, which makes living with paralysis a very difficult task. Besides its physical demands, a paralysis victim must handle the tough mental requirements of his or her injury while adjusting to a new way of life – a life involving permanent disability.

Life must be approached with a new outlook, and that can be very emotional for family members and loved ones. If the victim is the sole earner of a family, it becomes even more difficult for the family to lead a normal life.

In such a situation monetary compensation can be the best justice given to family. Though money cannot bring back the lost happiness and health of a paralysis victim, it can be used to meet the expenses of educating children, treating and caring for the patient and finding an alternative source of stable income for family members.
