Insurance companies will only pay very specific and limited amounts of rehabilitation, which is typically much less than the average spinal injury needs to recover based on Dr. recommendations. In addition electric wheel chair companies try and milk the Medicare / Medicaid system offering assistance leaving the patient with an unpaid claim months down the road. There is a bigger story here with this type of specific accident if the media would dig deeper.
