Challenges of Living With Paralysis
Living with paralysis can be extremely challenging for any person, but especially for someone who has known life without paralysis. A person who suffers a paralysis-causing accident must learn new ways to complete everyday tasks, may be unable to travel or live independently, and could lose their ability to work.
Paralysis also could result in any number of medical complications, such as:
- Difficulty breathing
- Blood clots
- Speech or swallowing problems
- Sexual dysfunction
- High or low blood pressure
- Pressure injuries
- Urinary incontinence
- Loss of bowel control
- Sepsis
- Emotional and neurological issues like anxiety
- Depression
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Treatment of a person with paralysis could include physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Rehabilitation therapies, along with adaptive and assistive equipment and technology, can be time-consuming and costly. An injured person should not bear this cost.

Compensation for a paralysis victim can cover a wide range of losses, both economic and non-economic.
