In a catastrophic injury claim, “paralysis” usually involves a spinal cord or nerve injury that causes partial or complete loss of function. In Allen cases, the injury often comes with documented complications—mobility limits, bladder/bowel changes, and a long-term care plan that must be supported with medical records.
The key point for Texas claimants: insurers may focus on what they believe the injury “should” be based on early reports, then later argue the condition was caused by something else. Your attorney’s job is to connect the incident to the medical reality shown in your records.
