Counting the Cost

The fear and distress of living with the consequences of spinal cord injury can never be fully compensated.

A glance at the financial costs of treating this condition shows just how vital it is to obtain clear legal guidance as soon as possible after the injury occurs.

The estimated lifetime costs for a person injured at the age of 25 can easily top $3 million during that person’s remaining lifetime.
