Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between complete and incomplete spinal cord injury?

A complete injury results in total loss of sensation and function below the injury level. An incomplete injury means some function or sensation remains below the injury level. The distinction significantly impacts prognosis and damages.

What are the lifetime costs of a spinal cord injury?

According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, lifetime costs can range from $1.1 million to $4.8 million depending on injury severity and age at injury. These costs include medical care, equipment, modifications, and lost earnings.

Can I recover if my injury was partially my fault?

Yes. Under Texas comparative negligence law, you can recover damages as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
