When you or a loved one has suffered paralysis as a result from an injury in the workplace, you need an experienced attorney to fight for the benefits you deserve. At the law office of John F. Renner, we have built a reputation for excellence in representing injured workers and fighting for your rights.

In an instant, a workplace accident can leave you with life-altering paralysis. The ability of the worker to earn a living is severely impacted because they have lost the function of limbs. There are two common forms of paralysis, paraplegia and quadriplegia. Paraplegia results in the impairment of the function of the lower extremities (from the waist down) while quadriplegia results in the impairment torso and all four limbs (from the neck down).

Common Arm and Shoulder Work Injuries I Handle:

Paraplegia – a loss or impairment in motor or sensory function of the lower extremities.
Quadriplegia – a loss or impairment in motor or sensory function of all extremities and the torso.
