Paralysis — whether paraplegia or quadriplegia — is among the most life-altering injuries a person can suffer, bringing extraordinary lifelong medical and care costs. Washington claims for paralysis require thorough, expert-driven valuation.
The Lifelong Impact
Paralysis affects mobility, independence, and nearly every aspect of daily life. Victims often need attendant care, adaptive equipment, home and vehicle modifications, and ongoing medical management.
Secondary complications can add to the medical burden over time.
Projecting Costs Accurately
Life-care planners and economists project decades of care, equipment replacement, and lost earnings. Undervaluing these future needs is a common insurer tactic.
Accurate projection is essential because the costs span a lifetime.
No Caps on Recovery
Washington's lack of damage caps allows paralysis victims to pursue the full lifetime cost of care and the profound non-economic harm involved.
