The birth of a new child should be an exciting time in a new mother or father’s life, but mistakes by doctors or medical professionals can cause irreversible effects. If the doctor or nurse makes avoidable mistakes during the delivery process, the mother or newborn could suffer from nerve damage and subsequent paralysis to the arms, legs, or more.

A failure to diagnose a condition may result in permanent damage that is past the point of treatment. With regards to spinal cord injuries, a timely and proper diagnosis is the key to rehabilitation and recovery. When a doctor or medical professional fails to provide an accurate diagnosis, paralysis can occur.

Surgeries, whether neurological or orthopedic, require precision and expertise. A misstep in the surgical process can lead to a variety of life-threatening errors such as paralysis or permanent damage to the spine or brain. Medical malpractice during surgery occurs for many reasons, from understaffing to blatant neglect.

Paralysis may serve as a blanket term to describe any loss of sensation or function, but the condition can take many forms. Monoplegia occurs when paralysis is limited to just one part of the body. Patients with monoplegia typically maintain sensation and motion in other parts of the body, and the condition is sometimes temporary. Hemiplegia occurs when a patient experiences loss of functioning on a single side of the body. Paraplegia describes a patient who loses all feeling in the bottom half of the body and quadriplegia occurs when patients suffer paralysis from the neck down.
