In California, most spinal cord injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury, with some exceptions for minors or cases against government entities.

While you can handle a claim alone, having legal guidance helps you navigate medical records, liability questions, and insurance negotiations. An attorney can help ensure you pursue the full value of your damages and avoid common pitfalls that reduce recovery.
Bring identification, any insurance information, medical records or bills related to the injury, police or incident reports, and notes about how the injury has affected your daily life and work.
Timelines vary by case, but most spinal cord injury claims involve gathering medical evidence, negotiating with insurers, and potentially filing a lawsuit. Settlement can occur at any stage, while trials may extend the process depending on court availability and case complexity.
Pain and suffering are evaluated based on the intensity, duration, and impact of the injury on daily living. Medical and lifestyle evidence, along with testimony, helps establish a fair amount. Your attorney will work to quantify these impacts clearly.
Many cases are resolved through settlement, but some proceed to trial if a fair offer isn’t reached. Our team prepares thoroughly so you have options and confidence at every step.
Proving fault typically requires showing that another party’s negligence caused the injury. This includes collecting records, witness statements, accident reports, and expert opinions to link the incident to the spinal injury.
Initial consultations are often free or low cost, and many firms work on contingency. You may owe fees only if you recover compensation. We will explain any costs before proceeding.
We use a combination of phone, email, and in‑person meetings to keep you informed. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact for updates and questions throughout the process.
