Paraplegic and Brain Injury

Spinal Cord Injury often leads to considerable financial losses. Only 40% of patients with paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury are eventually able to return to the workforce.

Paraplegia Injury is due to various causes. It typically involves an injury to the spinal cord that can lead to paralysis in the legs and chest or lower back. It is a serious condition requiring lifelong medical care.

Quadriplegia involves injury to the spine, in the cervix or neck area. Unlike paraplegia, which affects only the legs or trunk of the body, quadriplegia can render a person paralyzed in all four limbs.

Brain Injury is unlike a cut or a bruise, trauma to the brain is not visible. Since the victim of a closed head injury may look fine outwardly and appear to interact normally in casual encounters, the victim's friends, family members, coworkers and employers may not be able to understand or sympathize with his or her plight.
