Paralysis is one of the most damaging medical conditions in existence, but it is a blanket term describing several conditions. Paralysis is often caused by sporting activities, car accidents, knife and gunshot injuries, and falls. If you are currently suffering from the effects of paralysis, you may have grounds for a lawsuit if you believe another party is responsible for your injury or medical condition.
Filing a personal injury lawsuit may sound extreme, but with help from a Medford paralysis injury lawyer, you may be able to obtain compensation for your pain and emotional suffering. If you are considering taking legal action, read more about the true cost of paralysis below and then reach out to a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer who can help.
How Does Paralysis Impact the Human Body?
Paralysis is a serious medical condition that prevents a person from having mobility or sensation in a certain area of the body. It can also make it difficult for patients to regulate body temperature, control their bowels and bladder, and maintain normal organ functioning. Not all types of paralysis are equal, and individuals may suffer from any of the following types of paralysis:
- Monoplegia – Impacts a single limb
- Hemiplegia – Impacts one side of the body
- Diplegia – Impacts the same area on different sides of the body (ex: both arms or legs)
- Paraplegia – Impacts both legs (and usually part of the torso)
- Quadriplegia – Impacts both arms and legs, as well as the torso
Quadriplegia is the most severe type of paralysis, and in many cases, it can cause individuals to lose all movement and sensation from the neck down. Regardless of the type of injury, a Medford paralysis injury lawyer can help.
The High Cost of Treating Injuries in Medford
Recovering from paralysis can be remarkably difficult, and for many injured individuals, impossible. To make matters worse, the medical and rehabilitative care required for recovery is exceptionally expensive, and depending on the nature of an injury, can amount to millions of dollars over the course of a lifetime. Individuals must be able to obtain high-quality physical therapy to stimulate the nerves and unused muscles, and occupational therapy that may help them readjust to life after an injury.
Other medical expenses include canes, walkers, and braces, which must be replaced after a certain period. With such high costs to deal with, patients should contact a Medford paralysis injury lawyer if they believe they may be entitled to compensation.
How These Injuries Happen
The spinal cord and brain are two of the most important parts of the body, and when they are injured, the entire body will suffer. The brain functions as the control center of the body, and if a person sustains a severe brain injury, he or she may lose sensation in certain parts of the body.
Spinal cord injuries are one of the most common causes of paralysis in the United States, and such injuries can be caused by a direct severing of the cord or trauma to the area around it. The spinal cord contains a variety of important nerves which relay electrochemical messages to various parts of the body, and when it is damaged, the body will no longer be able to receive these messages.
Reaching Out to an Experienced Medford Paralysis Injury Attorney
No one should have to suffer an injury that causes paralysis at the hands of an irresponsible company, organization, or person. Paralysis is a serious medical condition that requires continuous treatment and if you do not file a legal claim, you could end up having to pay a variety of medical bills. Reach out to an experienced Medford paralysis injury lawyer today to learn more.

Testimonial from Paul D. -
My case settled recently after lasting 4 years. Grungo and Colarulo’s law firm were able to secure a large settlement award for my slip and fall accident. This money will help secure my future for the permanent injury I received as a result of the slip and fall. Everyone was very caring, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Christine Lafferty is an excellent litigation lawyer. I highly recommend using them if you have been injured or in an accident. I hope I am never in a situation again to need their services, but I know who to go to if I, or any of my family members are ever injured. Thanks Grungo and Colarulo and staff for your compassionate service!

My wife and I reached out to Grungo Colarulo in 2020 for advise on a legal matter. After a meeting with the Attorney and Paralegal, we decided to go forward with a case. This case required a lot of documentation, and expert review of the documentation which was aquired. Throughout the process, we were kept up to date monthly, and Grungo Colarulo was always responsive to any questions that we had. The entire staff at Grungo Colarulo are very professional, caring, and willing to go the extra mile. This firm is a definite recommend!

Testimonial from Aminah M. -
A dear family friend referred us to a young attorney named Rich Grungo, Jr. We wanted answers and if necessary, justice for our father. From day one of a five-year journey, Mr. Rich Grungo, Jr. made our family and our pain his own. The man never stopped working for us. He kept us informed every step of the way. Questions were answered quickly and with great compassion and expertise. Even though Rich was always busy, he was never too busy for us. We always felt like we were his only clients
Testimonial from Mickey -
I had the opportunity to observe Mr. Grungo work in this case, both in the courtroom on the technical matters of the motions and also as his presentation to the jury in opening and presenting witnesses as well as utilizing animations… and drawings and films that were necessary for a proper understanding of the case…At all times during the presentation, Mr. Grungo operated mostly without notes and questioned the witnesses in a conversational manner which made it most effective. **

Hi Rich, Well I’m on my way up to college to finish packing my son’s stuff up and to go to his Graduation tomorrow. It’s hard to believe how fast and how slow, at the same time 5 years can go by. I was just thinking of you as I am getting ready to leave and wanted to thank you once again for everything you have done for my son’s future. You are a good and just man. God Bless to you and your family.
