Legal Action After an Accident Resulting in Paraplegia or Quadriplegia
Surviving an accident — only to find oneself living with paralysis resulting in quadriplegia or paraplegia — is a terrifying ordeal. At the Glago Law Firm, we realize that no amount of money will be sufficient to compensate you for such a life-changing injury. However, a full and fair financial settlement or jury award can help you recover more fully and help you live your life in greater comfort and with greater support.

Paralyzed in an Accident? Collect the Compensation You Need
If the accident that resulted in paralysis was caused by the negligence, recklessness or intentional actions of another person, then the accident survivor has the right to file a claim against that person (or against that person's insurance carrier).
This claim is your one opportunity to recover a financial settlement that will pay for all your current and future medical needs, as well as replace lost income and compensate you for unnecessary pain and suffering that accompanies quadriplegia or paraplegia. It can also provide the necessary financial resources to make wheelchair accommodations to your home and vehicle, provide you with vocational rehabilitation and deal with the countless other challenges you will confront in living with paralysis.
Proven Houston and Louisiana Attorneys — Paraplegia and Quadriplegia
Led by veteran trial lawyer Mark Glago, our law firm has successfully handled cases on behalf of accident survivors now living with quadriplegia, paraplegia or other forms of paralysis:
- Quadriplegia: Quadriplegia is the most severe form of paralysis, involving paralysis to both upper and lower extremities. Depending on the level of spinal cord injury or damage, quadriplegics may have limited to no ability to utilize their hands and arms and may have no sensation or mobility in their torso, legs or feet.
- Paraplegia: Paraplegia is a severe form of paralysis that, depending on the level and extent of nerve damage, can affect sensation and mobility in the lower extremities, including the torso, legs and feet.
- Other paralysis: We also represent injured clients who have suffered an injury that resulted in paralysis to a single limb, such as arm or hand paralysis, due to the negligence of another.
We work with a team of experts to develop a full and complete financial demand in personal injury lawsuits involving clients suffering from paralysis. The demand includes reimbursement for past unpaid medical expenses, necessary future medical care or surgeries, rehabilitation services, a lifetime of lost income, home improvements necessary to accommodate a wheelchair and other assistive devices, and the cost of any other care needed to live life to the fullest despite living with quadriplegia, paraplegia or other forms of paralysis.
Full or partial paralysis can result from many different events. Examples include medical malpractice in which a surgical error results in a severed spinal cord; a serious car accident ; or a fall from heights on a construction site or elsewhere.
