Spinal cord injuries are among the most serious types of injuries a person can be inflicted with, because they cannot be cured or repaired. The healing period after a spinal cord injury typically consists of the victim learning to live with their new limitations.

Typical consequences of a spinal cord injury can include:

• Paralysis
• Quadriplegia
• Paraplegia
• Loss of sensation
• Inability to control bodily functions
• Loss of sexual function

Victims of spinal cord injuries and their families often face:

• Emergency hospitalization
• Rehabilitation and physical therapy
• Medications
• Home care
• Ongoing medical care
• Medical expenses that aren’t covered by the victim’s health insurance
• Travel expenses for medical care and for family members to visit while the victim is hospitalized and/or receiving medical care
• Counseling and emotional support for the victim and his or her family
• Lost wages
• Permanent disability and inability to work
• Funeral expenses in the event that the victim dies as a result of his or her injuries
