Spinal injuries are costly. From initial trauma treatment to long-term care and rehabilitation, you are looking at many hours, if not days or months, in a hospital. If you now have to use a wheelchair or require living assistance, it can get expensive. In addition, there is also the potential to lose your job due to your injuries, a new disability, or the rehabilitation that often follows. Following a spinal cord injury, your life may change significantly, and often permanently. Expenses can range into millions of dollars.
