Making Your Home Livable Again After a Spinal Cord Injury<\/h1>

Home Modifications After Spinal Injury Compensation: Adapting Your Home and Life<\/h2>\n\n

Did someone else’s carelessness cause your spinal cord injury? If so, you can usually recover the cost of adapting your home and life.<\/strong> These costs are part of a claim. The law calls them damages. They include ramps, a roll-in shower, a wheelchair-accessible van, in-home care, and more.<\/p>\n\n

This guide explains what those changes involve. It shows how your injury level drives the cost. It also covers how future costs are figured out and who pays first. And it explains how to keep repayment claims from eating up your settlement.<\/p>\n\n
