Paralysis results when a person loses muscle movement. In general, a person suffering from paralysis is unable to voluntarily move some part of his body, for example his limbs or torso. Paralysis also comes in different variations: minor paralysis or major paralysis. Minor paralysis is only a temporary condition of paralysis and can be treated and sometimes cured. On the other hand, if a person suffers from major paralysis, it is unlikely that treatment will provide a cure. Major paralysis often leaves a person paralyzed for a lifetime.

Common causes of paralysis include:

• Motor vehicle accidents
• Boating accidents
• Bicycle or pedestrian accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Slip and fall
• Direct head injury

Paralysis is a devastating injury. In addition to physical pain and mounting medical expenses, a paralyzed person might also struggle to adjust to his newfound dependence on others for basic tasks.
