Spinal cord injuries are expensive and can cause serious financial hardship. Cervical spine paraplegia can cost someone up to $1,000,000 for the first year of care! Furthermore, if you injure the lower area of your spine, you could be looking at around $769,000 in medical expenses.
From there, care for paraplegia care can be anywhere from$42,000 to $184,000 per year and does not include lost wages which will likely occur if you are unable to work after the accident. In fact, after a spinal cord injury, only 11.7% of people remain employed. This is why it’s important to contact a Southfield spinal cord injury lawyer today.
How To Recover Financially From A Spinal Cord Injury
If your spinal cord injury resulted from a car accident, you will need to file a claim through your own insurance before pursuing excess medical expenses and pain and suffering in Michigan state court because Michigan is a no-fault insurance state.
If your spinal cord injury occurred in another way, a spinal cord injury attorney can help you pursue a negligence or personal injury action in Michigan state court. In order to win damages in court, an attorney can help you prove:
- The at-fault party owed a duty of care to you,
- The duty was breached,
- There was causation or a link between the breach of duty and your injury, and
- You suffered damages.
