Frequently Asked Questions

What damages can I recover for a spinal cord injury?

You may recover medical expenses, future treatment costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We also seek compensation for long term care, home modifications, and emotional distress where applicable.

Case duration varies with complexity and settlement timing. Some cases resolve in months, others may take years if litigation is involved. We keep you informed about milestones and options throughout.

Yes, because these cases involve intricate medical evidence, insurance negotiations, and legal procedures. We handle the process and advocate for your interests.

Most personal injury firms work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and fees are earned from a successful recovery. There are no hidden costs to start the process.

Bring identification, any incident reports, medical records, and a list of damages and expenses. We will review details and explain options.

Many spinal cord injury claims settle before trial, but some require court action to secure fair compensation. We prepare for either path.

In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. Some exceptions apply, so prompt evaluation is recommended.

California follows comparative fault rules. You may still recover a portion of your damages proportional to others’ responsibility.
