Every year in the U.S., thousands of people experience a Paralysis from a Spinal Cord Injury. Often these injuries are the result of an accident at work, or an Auto Accident, motorcycle accident or Construction Accident. Paralysis is the inability to voluntarily move a body part. Paralysis is a devastating condition it affects a person physically and emotionally. You may experience difficulty in carrying on your life, and your relationship with your friends and family may be affected. The victim may require physical therapy, assistive devices, and various medical services to help you. If you are suffering from Paralysis, contact a New York Paralysis Lawyer from Stephen Bilkis and Associates as soon as possible. You have a right to be compensated for your injuries.

There are various types of Paralysis:

• Quadriplegia: paralysis of all four extremities;
• Paraplegia: paralysis of the legs;
• Hemiplegia: paralysis of a single side of the body;
• Monoplegia: paralysis of a single limb;
• Diplegia: paralysis of the same body part on both sides (both legs, or both arms).

When someone sustains an injury that results in Paralysis the compensation that will be offered to you from the insurance company will be woefully inadequate. The medical costs can be enormous and include occupational and physical therapy, surgery, counseling and numerous other expenses. You may not be able to ever return to work, and may require in-home medical care. The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistics Center reports that the average injury costs between $200,000. to $600,000. Subsequent treatment costs in the years following the injury can range from $14,000. to $120,000.
