Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer Toronto

A spinal cord injury can change your life forever. Many spinal cord injuries typically occur as a result of automobile and recreational vehicle accidents. It could also be as a result of simply engaging in everyday activities. The severity of the injury to the victim and damage to the spinal cord may cause complete or partial paralysis to the legs and arms.

Based on the extent of the damage, the spinal cord injury may be deemed catastrophic. For car accident claims, catastrophic impairments have a specific definition under the Ontario Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS). Both paraplegia and quadriplegia are injuries defined as catastrophic impairments under the current SABS guidelines. A spinal cord injury has a dramatic impact on the lives of both you and your family members.
