Oklahoma Paraplegia Lawyer

Paraplegia is paralysis of the lower body and legs. There are different classifications of spinal cord injury, and paraplegia affects the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral segments. Motor vehicles, falls, sports, and violence most often cause paraplegia. Spinal cord injuries affect at least 7,800 people in the U.S. every year, and this figure includes paraplegia. Paraplegia is a permanent condition that can greatly alter an individual's lifestyle. In paraplegia cases where the spinal cord nerves are severed the physical conditions become irreversible, but any spinal cord injury, like paraplegia does not result in mental impairments.

There are two types of spinal cord injuries that result in paralysis, paraplegia and quadriplegia that results depend on the degree of injury or disease and what position it occurs on the spinal cord. Paraplegia does not have the use of his/her legs and feet and some lower body muscles, and the paraplegia injury can have a significant psychological trauma. Life expectancy for paraplegia patients is normally 90% of what is expected for the able bodied population.
