A spinal cord injury can devastate your life and challenge you in many ways. If your spinal cord injury was the result of someone else’s negligence or misconduct, the challenges and devastation are accompanied by emotions and psychological stresses that can incapacitate you as well.

Motor vehicle accidents, violent assaults, sports-related injuries, falls and other incidents can cause a spinal cord injury. Over 50% of all spinal cord injuries result in quadriplegia which requires an average hospital admission of ninety-five days at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars in medical expenses.

The cost of medical care and treatment for a victim of a spinal cord injury depends on various factors. A person who is twenty-five years old at the time of their spinal cord injury can expect to be burdened with over $1.5 million of medical costs in their lifetime. This amount does not take into consideration the physical and emotional pain and suffering of the victim, lost wages and other expenses incurred as a result of the spinal cord injury.
