Paralysis/ Quadriplegia/ Paraplegia

Paralysis impacts every part of a person’s life. Gibby and his team aggressively advocate for individuals living with spinal damage, helping them recover damages for long-term care, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Paralysis involves the loss of function of the muscles in a part of your body. The level of paralysis may vary: it can be permanent or temporary; it can be complete or partial; it can occur on one or both sides of your body; and it can be widespread or in just one area. Paraplegia is a term which refers to a person who cannot feel anything in the lower part of his or her body. Quadriplegia refers to the inability to move the arms and legs.


Paralysis can be caused by a medical condition or disease, or by trauma or accident, such as a spinal cord injury. Typically, paralysis occurs downward from the point of injury or trauma to the spinal cord. In addition to extensive medical treatment, a paraplegic or quadriplegic may also require rehabilitative and psychiatric care.

In addition to facing the loss of muscle function, a paraplegic or quadriplegic is likely to suffer from secondary conditions. Secondary conditions result from the primary accident or injury. In the case of paralysis, the following secondary conditions are common:

  • Pain

  • Depression

  • Bladder and bowel control and care

  • Respiratory conditions

  • Sexual concerns

  • Skin issues
