Workers’ Comp Benefits for Catastrophic Injuries: Paraplegia and Quadriplegia

Unfortunately, spinal cord damage almost invariably results in permanent impairments. The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC) estimates that nearly 300,000 Americans are currently living with the effects of a serious spinal cord injury. Paraplegia is the paralysis of the legs and the lower body. Quadriplegia is the paralysis of the body from (at least) the shoulders down. In both cases, these devastating injuries are typically the consequence of spinal cord damage.

Workers who suffered any type of paralysis in a job-related accident (paraplegia, quadriplegia, etc.), need immediate medical attention and ongoing rehabilitative care. After such a severe injury, a worker may not reasonably be able to return to the workforce in the future. Under the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act, catastrophically injured workers can seek full medical coverage to include home health care and lifetime weekly compensation. If you are paid for your permanent injuries, you can also work since it is not for your wage loss but for the permanency of your injury. It is crucial that you or your loved one is able to access the maximum available workers’ comp benefits.
