Paralysis Injury

Paralysis injury is characterized by loss of function or feeling. The ability to move or feel is affected by an injury or disease to a person’s nervous system. The reduced motor or sensory ability is what we call paralysis.

Paralysis, or any injury characterized by loss of function or feeling, can be life-threatening. Some of the most common type of accidents which can result to paralysis are, but not limited to, the following:

  • Slip and fall

  • Car accidents

  • Sports accidents

  • Assaults

More often than not, fortunes are spent for treatment and rehabilitation of injuries sustained from these accidents. And more often than not, results can’t be guaranteed.

It cannot be stressed enough that paralysis injury can be complex. The expenses alone in medication can be burdensome. Add to that the emotional burden that the victim and his/her family have to suffer. Hence, to recover for compensation and filing of an action against the person who caused the injury can be the next best course of action to take.

Paralysis is also one form of disability, which the Workers’ Compensation law provides fixed monetary benefits.

The Federal Employment Compensation Act gives compensation for civilian federal employees. The awards are intended for disability, such as paralysis, or death, sustained by the employee in the performance of his duties. The employee, however, must not be intoxicated or contributed willfully to his injury.

Medical expenses due to the disability and job retraining for the employee are also covered by the law. Under this law, the disabled employee may receive 2/3 of his/her monthly salary during the entire duration of disability, if temporary, and may receive more if the disability is permanent, or if the employee has dependents.

In California in particular, workers can claim by virtue of a comprehensive state compensation program provided under the California’s Workers’ Compensation Act.
