How much could you afford?
Could you afford medical bills of around $400,000 to over $1 million?
We are certain that most people could not. However, according to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, that is the range of first-year medical costs for a spinal cord injury. That does not count the nearly average $100,000 cost of each following year of care or the price of any necessary medical equipment or modifications to vehicles and homes.
To be sure, spinal cord injuries are only one type of catastrophic injury. Others include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Skull fractures
- The loss of a limb
- Internal organ damage or failure
What do all of these injuries have in common?
They can all significantly alter a person’s ability to lead a normal life. Most catastrophic injury victims are unable to return to work. This will see them lose the income they need to support themselves and their families. Victims of these injuries will likely suffer from extreme emotional and psychological damages. The hidden costs of these incidents are often not considered by victims and insurance companies. When you consider that catastrophic injury victims are much more likely to end up re-hospitalized throughout their lifetimes, the total costs can be incalculable.
- There are around 18,000 new spinal cord injury victims each year in the US.
- Approximately 185,000 people lose a limb each year in the country.
- The CDC tells us that there are more than 2.5 million traumatic brain injuries each year.
These incidents happen in a wide variety of ways. Too many to list here. However, some of the most common catastrophic injury-causing events include:
- Vehicle collisions
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Workplace incidents
- Medical mistakes
- Falls from height
- Sports incidents
- Defective products
