Common Legal Questions About Paralysis Injury
Paralysis is a loss of muscle function in part of your body. It is a loss of strength in and control over a muscle or group of muscles in a part of the body. Paralysis can affect any part of your body at any time in your life. It results from damaged nerve cells that are unable to deliver the signals for your muscles to move.
If you have been paralyzed in an accident that may be the fault of a negligent third party, you should speak to an attorney at the Eltringham Law group. Most often, paralysis can result from injuries sustained in a car accident or trauma from a fall, but there may be others involved with your injuries. You can speak to our attorneys at no cost to evaluate whether or not you can file a legal claim.
Typically, in the state of Florida you could have up to two years to make a legal claim – still, every case is extremely unique, and it could be far less. Regardless, it is important to act fast.
