Quadriplegia occurs when the nervous system suffers damage sufficient to cause paralysis in all four limbs. Usually, this is the result of an injury to the upper part of the spine. The extent of paralysis depends on the level of the cervical injuries. Quadriplegics with high-level injuries (C5 and above) are close to completely paralyzed and will likely need constant care and assistance in things such as getting dressed, eating, and bowel and bladder help. Quadriplegics with lower level injuries (C6 and C7) can often continue to live independently once they have received physical and occupational therapy.

These injuries also affect the chest and abdominal muscles, and as a result a person suffering from quadriplegia may have a loss or decrease of bladder and bowel control, sexual function, breathing, and other involuntary processes such as digestion. The person may also experience numbness, burning or a decrease in sensation in the paralyzed areas.

Due to the decrease in mobility, quadriplegics are more susceptible to certain physical complications, including respiratory infections, thrombosis, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Because of these complications, it is very important that a quadriplegic person receive ongoing access to medical care.

Quadriplegia can result from, among other causes, automobile accidents, industrial accidents, offshore injuries and other traumatic accidents resulting in damage to the brain or cervical spine. Our firm understands that the immediate goals for a person suffering from quadriplegia are to get medical bills paid, minimize financial hardships, and assure the appropriate insurance company pays for future treatment.
