Causes and Consequences
Vehicle crashes, falls, and acts of violence are leading causes. Depending on the location and severity, a spinal cord injury can cause paraplegia, quadriplegia, chronic pain, and loss of bodily function.
The Cost of Lifelong Care
Spinal cord injury victims may need adaptive equipment, home modifications, ongoing therapy, and personal care for the rest of their lives. Claims must capture these enormous future costs.
