Perhaps the most devastating injury anyone can suffer is a spinal cord injury (SCI). The result of a spinal cord injury can range from temporary paralysis in your extremities to permanent and complete paralysis of all four limbs. One cannot imagine what life would be like without the use of your limbs or the ability to move. Unfortunately, this injury is a reality for more than approximately 282,000 people living in the U.S. According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCSC), the leading cause (38%) of spinal cord injuries is motor vehicle accidents. The second leading cause (30.5%) is falls.
The costs for treatment of these injuries is astounding. According to statistics and depending on the severity of injury and the history of the person, the average cost for the first year alone for all spinal cord injury victims is $675,915.00. The average yearly cost for each subsequent year is $102,436.00.
