Paraplegia Can Result From A Southern California Motorcycle Accident

As you can imagine, being involved in a Southern California motorcycle accident can lead to a serious injury, sometimes even death. Unfortunately, when a motorcycle is involved in an accident, almost always, the motorcyclist sustains the worst injuries. A motorcycle injury, such as paraplegia, can have life altering effects.

Paraplegia is a form of paralysis and is defined as the loss of movement and sensation in the legs and possibly the stomach and lower back region. It is normally a result of a spinal cord injury.

What are the warning signs of paraplegia? Generally, symptoms are immediate and include a loss of movement and sensation. In some cases, victims may suffer a loss of bowel and bladder control.

Unfortunately, in most cases, paraplegia is not treatable. Victims may suffer from a lifetime of paralysis having catastrophic effects on their personal, work and financial life.
