Whether you are dealing with paralysis due to a spinal cord injury, cognitive impairment due to traumatic brain injury (TBI), loss of vision of hearing — you will need time not only to heal but to develop a more accommodating lifestyle.
Some injuries, such as serious burns, are more than excruciatingly painful; they require accustoming yourself to a new self-image. Whether you are suffering from a loss of mobility, an amputation, or damage to a vital organ, our attorneys will work as hard as we can to assist you logistically and offer you moral support. Most of all, we will fight to win you the damages you need to recover and restart your life.

Our Goal Is To Win You Every Dollar Of Compensation You Deserve
Under the law you are entitled to damages for both economic and non-economic losses. The former are actual monetary costs and losses; the latter are intangibles, not easily valuated, but significant nonetheless.
Economic Damages are for things like:
Medical and rehabilitation costs
Lost income and lost earning capacity
Property damage
Psychological couseling
Alterations to make your home accessible
Nursing care at home or in a nursing facility
Medication
Final medical costs and funeral expenses (in cases of wrongful death)
Non-Economic Damages are intended to reimburse you, insofar as it’s possible, for:
Physical pain
Emotional anguish
Scarring and disfigurement
Permanent disability
Loss of consortium
Loss of enjoyment of life
Loss of financial/emotional support (in cases of wrongful death)
Punitive Damages are only awarded if the party we are suing has behaved in a manner the court considers particularly heinous. If, for example, the person in question has driven at high speed while under the influence of an illegal substance, or has injured you intentionally in an incident of road rage, you may be awarded punitive damages.
Steps Our Personal Injury Attorneys Will Take To Protect You And Your Family
Aware of how overwhelming your situation is, and how much your pain and turmoil also affect your loved ones, we want to lift as much of your burden as we possibly can by:
Making all necessary contacts with opposing attorneys and insurance adjusters
Preparing and filing all necessary documents promptly
Investigating the site of your accident and photographing as necessary
Examining police records and medical reports
Checking for any prior history of recklessness or misconduct by the defendant
Interviewing witnesses promptly, while they can recall details of the incident
Consulting with experts in relevant fields who may testify on your behalf
Fighting tooth and nail for your rights during negotiations and/or during trial
We want what is best for you. We will make sure to keep you in the loop insofar as it’s helpful, but refrain from being intrusive because we know how important it is for you to rest and heal.
What happens if you are partially to blame for the accident?
Even if you bear some measure of responsibility for the accident in which they were injured, you are still able to receive compensation, though the laws concerning comparative fault (also known as comparative negligence) vary from state to state. Here in California we abide by the principle of “pure comparative fault.”
