Among catastrophic injuries, spinal cord injuries are among the most costly—and the most likely to be caused by an accident. The leading cause of an SCI is a traffic accident, with about 38 percent of all SCIs caused by car crashes. The second-most common cause of SCIs was falling. Numerous studies have been conducted regarding the health and economic costs of SCI.

Here are their findings:

According to the Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, the minimum lifetime cost of a spine injury is $1.5 million. Paraplegia and incomplete tetraplegia were the most common forms of SCI, with a lifetime cost of $2.3 million and $3.4 million respectively. The most severe form of SCI—high tetraplegia, or paralysis from the neck down—cost victims $4.7 million in total costs over their lifetimes.

The initial hospitalization for a traumatic accident can cost up to $140,000 alone. This includes:

• Patient accommodation
• Ambulance response
• Acute treatment and rehabilitation
• The need for surgery, specialists, psychiatrists

The cost of an SCI is not limited to the hospital, however. An Australian study done on patients with different degrees of brain or spine injury found that equipment and modifications could cost up to $100,000 in the first six years, with long-term care costs adding an additional $343,000 per patient. Aides, equipment, patient travel costs, and the loss of productivity were not included in these costs.
