Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average spinal cord injury settlement?

SCI settlements vary widely: incomplete injuries may settle for $500,000-$2 million, complete paraplegia $1-5 million, and quadriplegia $5-15 million or more.

What factors affect spinal cord injury settlement amounts?

Key factors include injury severity (complete vs incomplete), paralysis level, age at injury, lifetime care costs, lost earning capacity, available insurance coverage, and defendant's assets.

Should I accept the first settlement offer for my SCI?

No. First offers rarely account for lifetime costs of spinal cord injury. These cases require proper evaluation by life care planners and vocational experts before settlement.

How is future medical care calculated in SCI settlements?

Life care planners evaluate all future needs including medical care, equipment, home modifications, attendant care, and therapies, projecting costs over your expected lifespan.
