Spinal Cord Accident Injuries

July 31, 2014

The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC) estimated an annual incidence of spinal cord injury of about 40 cases per million population in the U.S., this equates to about 12,000 new cases each year. Even worse, those who suffer this type of injury may never make a full recovery – with researchers estimating that approximately less than 1 percent of injury victims ever make a full recovery in their lifetime.

Typically, spinal cord issues require lengthy medical care and expensive outpatient therapy treatment, which commonly results in injury victims often needing to suspend their occupation for extended period of time.

If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury from an auto, work or other type of accident that was NOT your fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses.
