Los Angeles Paralysis Attorneys
Were You Permanently Paralyzed in an Accident?
The National Spinal Cord Injury Association has reported that around 11,000 people will suffer from some type of spinal cord injury every year. Nearly 50% of those injuries are complete, meaning the spinal cord damage is permanent.
If you or a loved one are suffering from paralysis due to a spinal cord injury, you need to secure the best possible medical treatment during this time. If the injury was caused by an accident or the reckless actions of another, it is also important to retain legal counsel from an experienced paralysis attorney in Los Angeles, like those at Biren Law Group.

Dealing with Different Types of Paralysis
Quadriplegia is one of the most catastrophic injuries anyone can endure. Paraplegia (paralysis from the chest down) or hemiplegia (paralysis on half the body) can both be equally as challenging for an individual to cope with.
Quadriplegics, paraplegics, hemiplegics and paralyzed individuals will likely require around-the-clock nursing care. Unfortunately, nursing care is not the whole picture; paralyzed plaintiffs generally require other types of care. We know that this can all add up quickly, making it necessary for you to retain fair compensation for your injury.
Loss of Motor Function
Motor function, or muscle control, is regulated by two distinct areas of the body: the brain and the spinal cord. A trauma to either area can cause mild to total loss of motor functions. If you were injured in an accident and suffered a brain injury or spinal cord injury that led to any loss of motor function, Biren Law Group is here to help.
In order to obtain maximum compensation for your injuries and suffering, you must be able to prove the extent of motor function you have lost due to the accident. This can be determined according to the muscle grading scale.
The scale measures active movement along a scale of E to A:
- Grade A: Total paralysis or loss of motor functions
- Grade B: Some sensation/feeling below the injury
- Grade C: Limited muscle movement below injury (50% cannot move)
- Grade D: Most (more than 50%) muscle movement below injury
- Grade E: normal, active movement with no impairment
Even more important is proving every way in which your life has been impacted as a result of the injury. Our attorneys know how to identify all of the losses our clients have suffered, working with specialists and experts to get our clients the medical care and courtroom support they need. Let us put our experience to work for you or your loved one.
Sensory Loss
Most individuals who suffer catastrophic injuries, including brain injuries or spinal cord injuries, do not immediately recognize the long-term effects. Unfortunately, it is often those long-lasting effects that can cause the most significant harm. From daily activities to medical dangers, sensory loss can have a devastating impact on a victim's life.
Sensory loss can lead to an inability to sense:
- Pain
- Temperature
- Touch or vibrations
However, for many individuals suffering from paralysis in the form of paraplegia or quadriplegia, sensory loss does not equate to the inability to feel pain. In fact, most paralyzed individuals often complain of something called a "phantom pain," which is pain associated with a limb they can technically no longer feel.
If you or your loved one has suffered sensory loss or neurogenic pain following an accident, you need the help of a Los Angeles paralysis injury lawyer who can guide you through the process of seeking compensation.
