How Can a California Spinal Cord Injury Attorney Help?

To recover compensation for your injuries and other damages, you must provide proof of negligence. Finding this proof and building a strong case is complicated and time-consuming. You shouldn’t try to handle your legal case on your own when your long-term health hangs in the balance. Additionally, the at-fault party will most likely have a team of insurance adjusters and a defense attorney working tirelessly to deny your claim or minimize payout. Because of this, you need to hire an experienced spinal cord injury lawyer as soon as possible.

At the Ibrahim Law Firm, a California spinal cord injury attorney will investigate the accident, gather vital evidence, consult with experts, and identify all liable parties. They will negotiate fair compensation that will cover the cost of your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. If the insurance company refuses to make a reasonable settlement amount, your trial-tested attorney will be prepared to present your case before a judge and jury.

Spinal cord injury cases are often settled out of court. An insurance company does not want to spend time and money on a long and costly trial.

What is My Spinal Cord Injury Case Worth?

Once your spinal cord injury lawyer understands your prognosis, they may consult with experts to learn how your injuries will impact your life in the future and the types of medical treatment that will be required.

Experts your attorney may work with during this time include:

Life care planners can help your attorney determine what activities of daily life you’ll need assistance with and what activities you’re able to carry out on your own.
Medical experts, such as specialists, surgeons, and your other treating physicians understand the full extent of your condition and prognosis.
Vocational experts can explain whether you’re able to return to work again and what duties you’re able to perform
Economists can calculate all future expenses and factor in how inflation will impact the value of your settlement

What Are the Leading Causes Of Spinal Cord Injuries?

Spinal cords can sustain injuries from traumatic and nontraumatic events. Traumatic events are events that stem from external forces such as impact to the spine. Nontraumatic forces occur internally, caused by infection or disease. Damage to the spinal cord or the nerves surrounding it can result in permanent and serious injuries. Determining the cause of the spinal cord injury can help your attorney identify the negligent party.

Some of the leading causes of SCIs include:

Auto accidents
Medical malpractice
Truck accidents
Sports accidents
Acts of violence
Workplace accidents

Pedestrian accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Bicycle accidents
Slip and falls
Trip and falls

Human negligence often causes SCIs. A negligent property owner, an incompetent surgeon, or a drunk driver can result in someone else’s permanent paralysis. If you believe your spinal cord injury was caused by the negligence of another, you may be entitled to compensation.

A spinal cord injury claim will allow you to fight for fair compensation from the at-fault party. At the Ibrahim Law Firm, our legal team can help you fight for the compensation you deserve, for an accident that was caused by the negligence of another.

Levels Of Spinal Cord Injuries

The spinal cord houses thousands of nerve fibers that send signals from the brain to other parts of the body. The degree of damage to the spinal cord, in addition to the location of the damage, will determine the severity of the injury and the amount of disability.

Cervical Injury

A cervical spinal cord injury can be fatal, or it can result in permanent, severe paralysis from the neck down. A patient may need assistance to breathe with this type of SCI.

Thoracic Injury

A thoracic spinal cord injury is located in the middle of the back. This type of spinal cord injury can result in triplegia, hemiplegia, or paraplegia.

Lumbar Injury

A lumbar spinal cord injury is located in the lower portion of the spinal cord. Damage to this area can result in loss of bowel and bladder control and paraplegia.

Sacral Injury

This is the lowest portion of the spinal cord and can cause partial loss of function in the lower body.

The higher up the injury is on the spinal cord the worse the effects will have on the injured party. A cervical SCI is the most debilitating, while a sacral injury may not result in permanent damage. The severity of the injury can determine the patient’s prognosis. The outcome of treatment significantly varies from patient to patient.

What is the Statute Of Limitations for SCIs?

The statute of limitations in California is two years from the date of the accident. You must file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations runs out or you will be unable to recover any compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, or other accident-related losses. Working with an experienced spinal cord injury attorney at the Ibrahim Law Firm can ensure your case is handled correctly and your lawsuit is filed within the statute of limitations.
