Beyond the medical damages caused by a spinal cord injury, these types of injuries can result in extensive financial damage as well as non-economic damage caused by the inability to work or fully enjoy life with an injury. Spinal cord injuries may also be fatal, and can leave the families of victims to recover financially and emotionally from the impact of someone else’s negligence.
