The average annual health care and living expenses for a spinal cord injury victim can be monumental.
According to statistics from the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, such costs can easily top $1.1 million for the first year and nearly $200,000 per year afterward.
The costs will depend on the severity of the victim’s injuries. For victims with quadriplegia, costs can amount to millions of dollars over the course of a lifetime.
Insurance and government assistance can provide a certain amount of help; however, there is often not enough money to cover all of a victim’s needs with such programs. That’s why it is important to speak with an experienced spinal cord injury lawyer about compensation to cover these costs. At The Smith Law Center, we go above and beyond in preparing for trial to ensure you receive the maximum amount of damages you’re owed.
