These injuries can be painful and extremely expensive to treat. In some cases, they cause permanent injury that prevents the worker from earning their full income and returning to their job. Some injuries can even generate life-long medical bills. Someone with a serious spinal cord injury in Miami Beach, for example, may end up paying more than a hundred thousand dollars in the first year of medical treatment and if severe the injury may cost millions of dollars over a lifetime in assisted living expenses, at-home care, medical treatment, and lost income. Workers compensation will not usually pay for all of these costs, which is why many injured workers turn to the civil courts for help and compensation.
