The Ongoing Cost of Spinal Cord Injuries (SCIs)

According to a study published by the Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine in 2007, roughly 11,000 people a year are hospitalized for a spinal cord injury (SCI). Over a quarter of a million people live with a disability caused by a spinal cord injury, ranging from incomplete paraplegia to high tetraplegia. The costs of these injuries vary according to the severity of paralysis, but all of them are costly.

Some of the ongoing costs associated with spinal cord injuries include:

  • Medical treatment and surgeries
  • Rehabilitation and therapy
  • Assistive devices and home modifications
  • Lost wages and future earning potential
  • Caregiver expenses
  • Mental health support

On average, a person with an SCI-related disability can expect to spend between $275,000 and $920,000 on treatment in their first year. Annual care costs after the first year average $33,500 on the low end, but costs reach as high as $164,500 for people with complete tetraplegia. These costs don't include the costs of adjusting to your new disability—making home renovations, buying a new vehicle to accommodate you or a loved one, or the loss of income from losing a job or needing a loved one to stay home.

Most families are completely unprepared to bear these costs, but few of them have a choice. The families of people with spinal cord injuries often go deep into debt to provide a better quality of life for their loved ones, but at a steep price. The cost of a permanent disability falls on the injured and their loved ones. Our attorneys know it doesn't have to be that way.
