A spinal cord injury is one of life's cruelest detours. Before the accident, you were likely an active person, engaged in work, family life and hobbies. You took for granted the ability to walk, to take care of yourself and to make your own decisions about where and when to go anywhere or do anything.
Then it happened. In a few moments, your life was changed forever in a serious accident:
- A car accident
- A motorcycle accident
- A truck accident
- A serious slip and fall accident — perhaps down a staircase or on a slippery surface
- A fall from a balcony or over a banister
- A surgical error
- A construction accident or other workplace accident
Immediately, you began racking up enormous medical bills and other expenses. Over time, you dealt with the reality of your disability: quadriplegia, tetraplegia or paraplegia, and incurred further financial losses:
- Surgery after the accident, to stabilize your broken back or neck
- Medical care in the post-operative recovery period
- Physical therapy and occupational therapy
- Rehabilitation
- Expenses associated with your medical care, such as family member's transportation costs
- Durable medical equipment
- Home remodeling or other housing costs, such as preparing to move to a handicapped-accessible dwelling
