Auto Accidents - Paralysis

Boston Car Accident Attorney

Helping Paraplegics and Quadriplegics in Massachusetts

While America is becoming more accommodating to the needs of paraplegics and quadriplegics, people with spinal cord injuries face challenges on a daily basis. This realization can be difficult to cope with for someone newly dealing with their paralysis. At the law office of Aiken & Aiken, P.C., we offer compassion and support to those who suffered a spinal cord injury in a car accident or other serious accident.

We pursue personal injury compensation on behalf of paraplegics and quadriplegics throughout Massachusetts. If you or a loved one has been injured, contact our serious injury law firm to discuss your case.

As experienced personal injury attorneys, we understand the legal aspects of injury claims. However, we also understand the medical aspect of these complex cases. We provide insight to help our clients understand the injury as well as how we can help them.

• Paraplegia: Paraplegics have usually suffered a spinal cord injury to their lower back (often due to a car crash). The damage to their spinal cord typically causes paralysis to their legs and lower torso. Paraplegics will usually need the use of a wheelchair for the rest of their lives.
• Quadriplegia: Quadriplegics have usually suffered a spinal cord injury to their upper back or neck (often due to rollover crashes). While each injury is unique, many quadriplegics suffer paralysis to the torso and legs, but also may have little or no movement in their arms, hands or neck.

We're here for the long road ahead.

For most people, paralysis resulting from an auto accident is permanent. However, they may endure months or even years of medical treatment and rehabilitation to improve the conditions of the injury. Extensive therapy may be necessary to learn how to manage activities of daily living, such as getting dressed or getting around the house.

Our attorneys are here to ensure that you get the help you need. We fight to recover the full compensation that you deserve and that you need for your current and future care.

If you or a loved one has suffered paralysis due to a spinal cord injury, please contact our Massachusetts law firm to discuss your claim with an experienced personal injury lawyer.
