Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

At Abronson Law Offices, we represent clients across California who’ve suffered spinal cord injuries due to someone else’s negligence. If your injury affects your ability to work, care for yourself, or enjoy daily life, we’re here to help.

There are strict legal timeframes to file a claim in California. For most incidents, you have two years from the date of the incident but when a non-federal government agency is involved, that window could be as short as six months. Don’t wait and risk your recovery. Contact our legal team today for a free consultation.

Why Do I Need a Lawyer for a Spinal Cord Injury?

According to the World Health Organization over fifteen million people world wide are living with a spinal cord injury. Additionally, the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis states that eighteen thousand new traumatic spinal cord injury cases appear annually in the United States.

Spinal cord injuries are among the most devastating and life-altering injuries anyone can experience. Spinal cord injuries are complex, medically and legally. Insurance companies know the stakes and will try to minimize responsibility, delay payment, and challenge the need for long-term care. You need more than a lawyer, you need a legal team equipped to handle catastrophic cases.

Our office works with life care planners, economists, and medical experts to project the true lifetime cost of your injury. This includes not just current treatment, but future surgeries, therapy, housing modifications, mobility devices, and caregiving. We also fight for emotional compensation, such as loss of independence, inability to return to work, and the profound impact on your relationships and quality of life.

Types of Spinal Cord Injuries We Handle

Complete Spinal Cord Injuries
Result in total loss of sensation and motor function below the point of injury. These are most commonly associated with paraplegia or quadriplegia.

Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries
Allow for some level of function or sensation below the injury site. Recovery varies greatly and often includes long-term physical therapy.

Spinal Fractures and Dislocations
High-impact trauma (car crashes, falls, sports injuries) can fracture or displace vertebrae, damaging the spinal cord or compressing nerves.

Disc Herniation with Cord Compression
Disc material pushes into the spinal cord or nerve root, often requiring surgical intervention to prevent further damage.

Spinal Contusions
Bruising of the spinal cord can cause swelling and dysfunction, sometimes leading to long-term sensory or motor deficits.

Nerve Root and Cauda Equina Injuries
Damage to the lower portion of the spinal cord can affect bowel, bladder, and sexual function, often permanently.

What Compensation Can I Recover?

If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, you may be eligible for:
   · Medical expenses (past and future)
   · Lost income and reduced earning potential
   · Pain and suffering
   · Rehabilitation and long-term care
   · Emotional distress
   · Any other damages unique to your case

We work with medical experts, financial analysts, and crash investigators to build a strong case and address all the impacts this incident has had on your life. Our goal is to make sure your compensation reflects the true cost of how any incident has affected your life, not just what the insurance company is willing to pay.
