There are a handful of possible sources of financial assistance and/or compensation for people with spinal cord injuries. Sources of financial assistance often depend on how the injury occurred. At work, an SUV rollover, caused by a third party, etc.
Car accident / SUV Rollovers

Disability Insurance
Disability claims may be filed if one has such insurance either privately or through an employer.
Social Security Disability
Disability claims can be filed with the federal social security system.
Worker's Compensation
If the injury can be linked to a particular job-site can a worker's compensation claim be filed against an employer. It is also possible that a worker's compensation claim will conflict with the pursuit of other legal remedies, so it is advisable to consult with an attorney before pursuing this or any other avenue of monetary recovery.

Last week, this column covered some information about head injuries and, in particular, concussions. Because head and neck injuries often occur simultaneously, we associate any blow to the head with potential injury to the neck. When assessing any such victim, we must check the neck for spinal cord injury and determine whether the victim can be moved safely. Only if the neck evaluation is normal, can the victim be moved.
