Know Your Rights Under California Law

Under California personal injury law, victims have the right to pursue financial compensation for the losses they suffer due to another person’s actions or inactions. Some examples of the types of injury cases that our attorneys see often involving spinal cord injuries include:

  • Car accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Workplace accidents
  • Falls from heights due to premises liability
  • Assault-related deaths
  • Truck accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents

To prove personal injury, we must demonstrate negligence occurred. To do that, we need to prove four elements:

  • The at-fault party owed your family member a duty of care.
  • The at-fault party breached that duty of care in some way.
  • The breach of that duty of care directly caused the accident or incident to occur.
  • The person’s injuries were directly related to that accident.

With our investigative team and dedicated professionals, we can help you build a spinal cord injury claim in Compton. Even if you are not sure if you have a case, we strongly encourage you to contact us to learn more about your rights.

The Complications That Come with Spinal Cord Injuries Are Serious

As you face a potentially long recovery process after a car accident or other injury, you may be worried about your future. Spinal cord injuries can often cause serious complications to people in numerous ways. Here are some examples of what makes these claims so complex:

  • Loss of mobility, including short- and long-term damage
  • Chronic pain development
  • Nerve damage that contributes to limited movement
  • Lung problems
  • Bowel and bladder complications
  • Mental health complications
  • Changes to sexual function
  • Osteoporosis onset
  • Cardiovascular complications

More so, some of these injuries happen right away, but others may take some time to develop, meaning you could face changes to your health and well-being weeks, months, or even years later.

With the guidance of our Compton spinal cord injury lawyer, you will have the ability to claim full compensation for the demonstrated losses you have and the expected losses you could have in the future. With our legal team by your side, you gain our experience and dedication to pursuing full and fair compensation for you.

How Much Compensation Your Spinal Cord Injury May Be Worth

Some people fully recover from spinal cord injuries and move on with their lives after a period of healing. Others have sustained injuries that impact their financial, physical, and mental health for decades to come. This impacts your compensation from the at-fault party. Some of the factors that will play a role in what you can expect to receive include the following:

  • The extensiveness of your physical injuries, with more severe injuries typically leading to a higher level of compensation
  • Medical costs now and into the future, including any supportive services you may need just to get through the day
  • Lost wages, including losses for missing work during your injury and recovery period, but, in some situations, ongoing losses from being unable to work
  • Property damage and other losses related to the accident itself
  • Loss of companionship and consortium impact on your quality of life
  • Pain and suffering, including any discomfort or pain you feel during the initial accident but also on an ongoing basis
  • Emotional trauma and mental anguish, including the development of conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety

These are incredible accidents with long-term outcomes for nearly all victims. As you work with our Compton spinal cord injury attorney, expect our team to fully develop your case by talking to your doctors, medical experts, and employers extensively. We use accident recreation teams, witnesses, and much more to prove that someone else did this to you and that you will suffer from it for years to come.
