Experienced Quadriplegic Injury Attorney Defends Clients’ Rights to Compensation for Their Injuries in Hudson County, Monmouth County, Morris County, Somerset County, Union County, and Throughout NJ

Quadriplegia is the paralysis of both arms and legs (hence the suffix quadri which means “four”). It can be complete, in which case the victim loses total sensation and motor control of the body, or partial, in which case the victim retains some level of sensation or motor control over the body. Quadriplegia is often caused by injury and trauma, although it can also be caused by birth defects and illnesses. If you know someone who has suffered a quadriplegic injury – whether complete or partial – we are here to help. Do not suffer alone, and do not forgo the compensation you may be entitled to. Contact a New Jersey quadriplegia injury lawyer at Blume Forte Fried Zerres & Molinari for assistance with your case.

Quadriplegic Injury Attorneys in Morris County, NJ Handle Complex Catastrophic Injury Cases

Treating spinal cord injuries can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per case, with lifetime medical costs and treatment expenses easily surpassing several million dollars per case for many people. These losses are in addition to the loss of income, earning potential, quality of life, and independence that quadriplegics are forced to live with after an accident.

Males suffer quadriplegia at a rate that is five times higher than that of females, and this can be linked to participation in outdoor sports and activities such as diving, driving, and motorcycle riding, although violence, stroke, birth injury, and slip and fall accidents are also common causes of quadriplegia in both males and females of all ages.

According to the National Institutes of Health, even with the right treatment at the right time, spinal cord injury victims who suffer from quadriplegia often live only 10 years or so on average after their accident. Furthermore, while 80% of traumatic spinal cord injury victims should be able to live at home and perform gainful work after receiving treatment, only 20% or so actually do.

The harsh reality of a quadriplegia injury is that you may be unable to work and live independently, and you will likely face excessive medical treatment expenses. What’s more, your injury may have been due to the carelessness, negligence, or wanton recklessness of another party.
