What is a quadriplegia injury?
Although any spinal cord injury resulting in paralysis is tragic, quadriplegia is far worse because it involves losing the use of limbs and extremities below the neck, affecting the arms, hands, trunk, and pelvic organs.
Moreover, quadriplegia injuries typically require surgery as well as ongoing medical treatment and may be life-threatening. Quadriplegics are usually unable to care for themselves, may lose the ability to breathe independently, and endure lasting pain and suffering.
Unfortunately, paralysis injuries are irreversible, even though medical advances and experimental treatments have the potential to allow some victims to function more independently. In any event, the life-altering consequences of a quadriplegia injury make it crucial to work with a dedicated spinal cord injury attorney.

Common Causes of Paralysis and Quadriplegia in California
Paralysis and quadriplegia are typically caused by a sudden blow to the spinal cord often as a result of:
- Motor vehicle accidents — Car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents are the cause of most spinal cord injuries, the most serious of which can result in quadriplegia.
- Falls — Falls from heights, such as ladders, roofs, and scaffolding (e.g. construction accidents), and as slip and fall accidents, frequently result in spinal cord injuries.
- Violent crimes — Assault, battery, and other violent acts cause many spinal cord injuries; gunshot or knife wounds to the spine can result in paralysis and quadriplegia.
- Sports and recreation injuries — Contact sports such as football, soccer, and wrestling, and other athletic activities contribute to numerous spinal cord injuries.
Although paralysis injuries are irreversible, medical advances and experimental treatments have the potential to allow victims to function more independently. But the life-altering consequences of quadriplegia make it crucial for victims to have the medical care they need and first-rate legal representation they deserve.
