Catastrophic accident attorneys in Massachusetts advocate for victims

A paralyzing injury can result from an auto accident, a workplace mishap or any number of other incidents. If you experience such a catastrophic injury, the accomplished attorneys at Feinberg & Alban PC are here to represent you. From offices in Center Plaza and Brookline, we pursue maximum compensation for the devastating financial and personal losses suffered by paralysis victims.

What is paralysis?

Paralysis occurs when the nerves that send signals from the brain to other parts of the body misfunction in a way that restricts or prevents voluntary muscle movements, usually in the limbs. Among the most common types are:

• Paraplegia — This type affects the legs and sometimes the abdomen and torso, limiting mobility and preventing the person from engaging in physical activities at work and at home.
• Hemiplegia — This type affects the arm and leg on one side of the body. It simultaneously limits the ability to walk and the use of the hands.
• Quadriplegia — This type immobilizes all four limbs, causing a devastating change in one’s lifestyle and enjoyment of life, as well as imposing substantial burdens and expenses.

We understand the catastrophic effects that paralysis can have and are determined to fight for the just compensation you deserve.

Why does paralysis occur?

Paralysis can occur in many types of accidents, including:

• Auto accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Subway and transit accidents
• Slip and falls
• Workplace accidents
• Medical malpractice

If you have suffered paralysis, you need an experienced personal injury attorney to identify who is responsible and to hold those parties liable for their negligence.

How paralysis can severely impact your life

Being paralyzed requires you to cope with significant and even severe lifestyle changes and challenges, putting a heavy emotional toll on you and your loved ones. You may require physical and vocational therapy, wheelchairs, specially-adapted vehicles and other medical devices. You may also have to adopt strategies for adapting to your new situation. All of this could create difficult financial burdens due to:

• Medical bills
• On-going care
• Lost wages and earning capacity

We will work zealously to win damages for the effects of your paralysis from any party who caused your accident.

How we help

Our attorneys are experienced and skilled in representing paralysis victims in litigation and in obtaining substantial settlements. Following a free initial consultation, we will investigate the accident and document the causal connection and all of the effects of paralysis and other injuries on your life and finances. We will pursue insurance claims and negotiations. If the insurers do not offer a sufficient settlement, we will file a lawsuit and, if necessary, go to trial. Most personal injury cases in Massachusetts must be filed within three years of your accident. The sooner you meet with us, the sooner we can begin to prepare your case and to work toward achieving a positive result.
