Paraplegia is an impairment in either or both the motory/sensory function of the lower extremities. In catastrophic injury cases, paraplegia is usually the result of a spinal cord injury as opposed to a congenital condition. The area of the spinal canal which is affected in paraplegia cases is either the thoracic, lumbar or cervical region. If the arms are also affected by paraplegia the appropriate terminology is tetraplegia.

One of the challenges of a Paraplegia Injury claim is that you may need extended hospitalization, surgeries, and physical therapy before you attain your maximum physical recovery.
