A spinal cord injury is a severe damage to the spinal cord that may result in partial or full loss of function below the injury site. The impact varies and can change your mobility, sensation, and daily activities. Legal guidance helps you recover appropriate compensation for medical care and life changes.
California generally requires filing a claim within two years of the injury event. Some exceptions apply, especially for minors or certain injuries. A timely consultation helps you protect your rights and avoid missing important deadlines.
Damages can include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, future care needs, pain and suffering, and impact on daily living. A strong claim accounts for both current and long-term costs.
Many spinal cord injury cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you typically pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. This arrangement helps you pursue your claim without upfront costs.
Liability is determined by who caused the injury through negligence or fault. Evidence like photos, records, and expert opinions help establish responsibility.
Bring identification, medical records, insurance information, police or incident reports, and a list of any witnesses or contacts you have related to the incident.
