A Disrupted Life

Few turns of fate in life are more frightening or disruptive than to suffer a spinal cord injury. After the trauma and shock of the accident, the paralyzed car accident or workplace accident victim and his or her family are left to deal with the aftermath.

Pain and Suffering, Long Term Care

Even minor spinal cord injuries can burden the victim with chronic, debilitating neck and back pain. In the most serious cases, paraplegia or quadriplegia will mean that a person needs personal care assistance for the rest of their lives. Lifecare planners devote their professional knowledge to the development of appropriate life care plans. Individuals and families affected by spinal cord injury often must cope with the following needs:

Extraordinary medical expenses
Lost wages
Ongoing physical therapy
Occupational therapy
Psychological counseling
Technological aids such as wheelchairs, specially equipped vans, and other adaptive equipment
Home remodeling to widen doorways, lower countertops, and otherwise allow for mobility and independent self-care to the greatest extent possible
Bowel and bladder care
