Spinal Cord
Injuries
Securing your future after a
catastrophic injury.
A spinal cord injury can instantly change how you live, move, work, and care for yourself. You and your family may now be facing major medical decisions, home adjustments and uncertainty about the future.
If you or a loved one suffered a spinal cord injury, you may be entitled to significant financial and medical support. We help you secure the long-term resources needed for stability and quality of life.
How These Injuries Occur
Spinal cord injuries commonly result from:
-
Motor vehicle or motorcycle accidents
-
Pedestrian or bicycle collisions
-
Recreational vehicle incidents
-
Slip and fall accidents
-
Sports or other traumatic events
Depending on severity, the injury may cause partial or complete paralysis affecting the arms, legs or both, along with loss of sensation and independence.
Catastrophic Injury Status in Ontario
Certain spinal cord injuries qualify as catastrophic impairments under Ontario’s accident benefits system, including:
-
Paraplegia
-
Quadriplegia (tetraplegia)
This designation dramatically increases available medical and rehabilitation funding and is critical for long-term care planning. Insurance companies often dispute catastrophic status, making early legal guidance important.
Planning for Lifetime Care
Many people with spinal cord injuries require ongoing assistance and specialized support. We help build a long-term plan covering:
-
Home modifications and accessibility changes
-
Attendant and personal care
-
Rehabilitation therapy
-
Mobility equipment and assistive devices
-
Psychological support
-
Future medical expenses
Our goal is to protect both your independence and your family’s financial security.
