Catastrophic Injuries
Paralysis, paraplegia, and quadriplegia from traumatic spinal cord damage.
Spinal cord injuries are among the most devastating consequences of serious accidents. Depending on the level and completeness of the injury, victims may experience paraplegia (loss of function in the lower body) or quadriplegia (loss of function in all four limbs). The lifetime cost of care for a spinal cord injury can exceed millions of dollars.
Our attorneys work with spinal cord injury specialists and life care planners to document the full, lifelong cost of your injury — including medical care, rehabilitation, assistive equipment, home modifications, and lost earning capacity.

Los Angeles County
Los Angeles is home to some of the top spinal cord injury treatment centers in the country, including Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center and UCLA's spinal cord injury program. Access to world-class care is available, but the costs are substantial.
Fresno County
Fresno and the Central Valley see a high rate of spinal cord injuries from motor vehicle accidents on SR-99 and I-5, as well as agricultural workplace accidents. The region's combination of high-speed highway travel and dangerous agricultural work produces severe injuries.
Sacramento County
Sacramento has a growing rate of spinal cord injuries from motor vehicle accidents on I-80, I-5, and US-50, as well as recreational accidents on the region's rivers and lakes. The capital region's mix of urban and rural driving conditions produces a range of severe injury scenarios.
