Paraplegia (lower body paralysis) and quadriplegia (all four limbs) are among the most devastating and expensive injuries caused by accidents. The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation estimates lifetime costs for high-level cervical injuries at $5 million or more. A settlement that doesn't account for these costs isn't a settlement — it's a financial disaster waiting to happen. Gregory S. Young Co., LPA builds paralysis cases from day one with the experts and methodology to capture every lifetime cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between paraplegia and quadriplegia?
Paraplegia refers to paralysis of the lower body, caused by injury to the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral spinal cord. Quadriplegia (tetraplegia) affects all four limbs, caused by injury to the cervical spinal cord. Both can be 'complete' (total loss of function) or 'incomplete' (partial preservation of function).
How much is a paralysis injury lawsuit worth in Ohio?
Every case is different. Complete cervical quadriplegia cases have resulted in verdicts and settlements of $10 million or more. The value depends on the victim's age, pre-injury income, level of injury, and the completeness of the life care plan.
