  • Pain and suffering
  • Past and future lost wages
  • Physical therapy
  • Occupational therapy
  • Assistive equipment
  • Psychotherapy
  • Medication
  • Home modifications
  • Attendant care
  • Housekeeping assistance

Types of Spinal Cord Injuries

Quadriplegia

Quadriplegia is a severe form of paralysis affecting all four limbs and the torso. People living with this condition no longer have the ability to move these parts of their body, and may also have difficulty controlling their breathing, bladder, and bowel functions. A victim of quadriplegia requires comprehensive medical care and support to manage their day-to-day activities.

Paraplegia

Paraplegia is a form of paralysis affecting the body below the waist. Individuals with paraplegia lose the ability to feel sensation in or move their legs and lower body. This condition not only impacts mobility; it also affects one’s overall physical health and quality of life.

Incomplete Spinal Injuries

This occurs when an individual retains some degree of sensation or mobility below the level of the injury. Related conditions include:

  • Anterior cord syndrome
  • Central cord syndrome
  • Posterior cord syndrome
  • Brown Sequard syndrome
