A person may get paralyzed during a car accident. Yeah, they can get paralyzed from waist down. The slang for it is a cripple, or in a sciectific term it's called paralysis.

Paraplegia: Paralysis of the lower part of the body including the legs. As in flaccid or spastic paraplegia. The suffix plegia means paralysis.
What is Quadraplegia?
Cervical (neck) injuries usually result in FOUR limb paralysis. This is referred to as Tetraplegia or Quadraplegia. Injuries above the C-4 level may require a ventilator or electrical implant for the person to breathe. This is because the diaphragm is controlled by spinal nerves exiting at the upper level of the neck. The well documented horse riding accident of Christopher Reeve (Superman) resulted in a 'complete' spinal cord injury above C3 and he now has to use a mechanical ventilator via a hole in his throat to breathe. You can also have an incomplete quadriplegic injury too

Yes, any injury to the spine or neck can cause it.
Paralyzed from the waist down is paraplegic, from the neck down is quadriplegic.

Yes, they can if there is damage done to the spinal cord. It's called paraplegic I think and quadriplegic if you can't move from the neck down.

Of course, and that's called paraplegia. Or the person would be paraplegic.
