San Diego Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

We start by learning what happened, the injuries you suffered, the treatment you have received, and how your life has changed. We review the available records and evidence, identify potential claims and defendants, and determine whether any unusually short deadlines apply, including California's government claim requirements.

Important evidence can disappear quickly. Depending on the case, we may preserve vehicles or defective components, obtain video and electronic data, document roadway or property conditions, locate witnesses, and secure records before they are lost or destroyed.

Serious spine injuries often require medical and technical evidence beyond the ordinary treatment record. We gather imaging, hospital and surgical records, physician findings, rehabilitation records, and other evidence needed to establish the nature and extent of the injury.

We investigate why the injury occurred and identify every person or entity that may be legally responsible. Depending on the case, that may include a negligent driver, property owner, contractor, manufacturer, employer of another party, or public entity responsible for a dangerous roadway or other condition.

A serious spine injury should not be valued before its long-term consequences are reasonably understood. We develop the medical and financial evidence needed to account for future treatment, rehabilitation, attendant care, lost earning capacity, and the effect of the injury on mobility, independence, work, and daily life.

If the case cannot be fairly resolved, we are prepared to pursue it through litigation and trial. That process may include written discovery, depositions, expert evaluations, motions, mediation, and preparation of medical and technical evidence for presentation to a jury.
