- Challenges of Paralysis: High medical costs, accessibility needs, and emotional strain.
- Insurance Tactics: Pressure to accept low settlements that don’t cover long-term care or reduced quality of life.
The Heavy Toll of Paralysis Injuries
Paralysis, whether paraplegia or quadriplegia, strips away independence. The physical, emotional, and financial impacts are profound.
- Physical and Emotional Impact:
- Everyday tasks like dressing or moving become daunting.
- Overwhelming emotional strain for victims and family members.
- Prevalence: Over 1,000 new spinal cord injury cases annually in Florida, per the Florida Department of Health.
- Common Causes:
- Car crashes
- Truck accidents
- Workplace injuries
- Often tied to reckless or negligent behavior.
- Financial Burden:
- First-year treatment costs can exceed $1 million, with lifetime costs up to $5 million, per the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
- Ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, and home modifications.
Kaiser Romanello’s paralysis injury attorneys fight for economic damages to cover these costs, plus non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Our law firm, serving West Palm Beach and beyond, builds strong cases to protect your financial future. We counter insurance tactics that undervalue claims, using medical records and expert testimony to secure fair compensation.
Causes of Paralysis Injuries
Paralysis injuries arise from various accidents, each with unique challenges. Our attorneys investigate to hold negligent parties accountable.
- Common Accident Types:
- Car Accidents: Often on highways like I-95 in Miami, caused by distracted driving or speeding.
- Truck Accidents: Resulting in catastrophic injuries like tetraplegia due to improper maintenance or driver errors.
- Medical Malpractice: Botched surgeries causing permanent damage.
- Fall Accidents: Especially in workplaces or public spaces.
- Motorcycle Accidents: Common in Orlando’s tourist-heavy areas due to lack of protective barriers.

Kaiser Romanello’s paralysis injury lawyers analyze crash reports, witness accounts, and medical documentation to prove liability, whether it’s an employer, driver, or healthcare provider. We serve clients across Florida, ensuring thorough pursuit of justice.

Paralysis varies in scope and impact, affecting victims and their families differently.
- Types of Paralysis:

Why Paralysis Injury Claims Get Denied
Insurance companies often deny or undervalue paralysis injury claims to protect their profits. Navigating these challenges requires skilled legal support.
- Common Denial Tactics:
- Disputing the at-fault party’s liability.
- Claiming injuries pre-existed the accident.
- Arguing you’re partially responsible.
- Legal Hurdles:
- Florida’s modified comparative negligence law: No recovery if you’re over 50% at fault.
- Two-year statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit (Section 95.11).
- Our Approach: Kaiser Romanello’s lawyers use robust evidence—medical records, crash reconstructions, and expert opinions—to counter insurer strategies and maximize compensation.
With nearly 25 years of experience, our legal team in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach anticipates these moves, ensuring timely and effective action to protect your claim.
