Spinal Cord Injury Claims
According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC), there are approximately 12,500 new spinal cord injury (SCI) survivors each year. A wide range of accidents can result in SCI. Falls, such as those suffered in construction accidents, motor vehicle accidents, and sports accidents are among the most common causes. Progress is made every day toward finding a cure for SCI, but as of now it is a permanent injury for most victims.
Consequences of Spinal Cord Injury
The level and severity of the SCI determines the extent of impairment that can be expected. The lifetime costs of SCI are in the millions of dollars. SCI victims may never be able to earn a living again, and those with severe impairment will require 24 hour care for the rest of their lives. SCI survivors have a shortened life expectancy. Those who are severely impaired have secondary conditions to contend with, such as infections and malnutrition.
