Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average settlement for a spinal cord injury in Ohio?
There is no average — every case is different. Factors include the level of injury, completeness, the victim's age and pre-injury earnings, and available insurance coverage. Complete cervical injuries requiring round-the-clock care have resulted in multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements.
What is a life care plan and why does it matter?
A life care plan is a detailed document projecting all future medical and support costs for an injured person through life expectancy. In an SCI case, this document is essential to proving the true value of a claim. Without it, insurance companies will argue for far lower settlements.
