Accidents Resulting in Quadriplegia

Quadriplegia may have different causes. The most common cause is due to spinal injury, wherein the spinal cord is damaged in some way, resulting in damage to the nerves that carry messages to and from the brain and the rest of the body. Typically, an injury may result in partial or total paralysis at the point of the injury on the spine and below. As such, quadriplegia may be caused by spinal cord injury high on the spine at the neck. In addition to interfering with a victim’s ability to feel and control limbs, this may result in difficulty breathing or controlling other bodily functions. Complete quadriplegia would cause a victim to be unable to move any part of the body below the neck.
