San Diego Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys

In serious accidents the spine can be injured, anywhere from the cervical area (the neck) down through the lumbar area (the lower back). The spinal cord transmits both feeling and control between the brain and all of the body. If the injury damages the spinal cord, the impact to an individual can be catastrophic. A spinal column injury is life-changing for the person who has suffered it and for those close to the person. You and your loved ones face major adjustments in every aspect of your life, and in planning for your future. Experienced San Diego spinal cord injury attorneys understand the gravity of these injuries, and the impact on a person’s life.

An injury in the lower spine can result in paraplegia, the loss of use of the legs, imposing severe restrictions in a person’s life. If the paraplegia is permanent, a person must plan their entire life around the restrictions that come with the loss of use of their legs, including permanent use of wheelchairs. Injuries higher up the spinal cord can result in quadriplegia, a loss of use of both arms and legs. An individual with quadriplegia may need mechanical assistance to breathe, and 24- hour around the clock assistive care to survive. Casey Gerry's spinal cord injury attorneys know what this diagnosis means to you and your family and can help you think through your needs. Our spinal cord injury attorneys in San Diego understand the realities of wheelchair use, and the need to redesign and rebuild a home so that a person can use their kitchen, their bathroom and can navigate other spaces.

Casey Gerry’s San Diego spinal cord injury lawyers work with people throughout southern California who have been injured. They understand that a person with paraplegia or quadriplegia will face enormous costs for the rest of their life. Our spinal cord injury attorneys consult with a qualified life care planner who can anticipate all the challenges and needs that the injured person will face. It is important to compute what the cost will be not only next year or the next five years but 20, 30 or 40 years out. When our spinal cord injury attorneys represent an injured person they make sure all potential costs and expenses have been addressed. Only then can a realistic evaluation be made of the economic costs that should be factored into the case’s resolution.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a spinal cord injury caused by the negligence or irresponsibility of someone else, you have right to correct the wrong that was inflicted upon you. One way to exercise this right is to pursue financial compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering, medical bills and all of the other mounting costs you must now cope with on a daily basis. The dedicated and experienced spinal cord injury attorneys at Casey Gerry are the people that can help you pursue that right to fair and just compensation, because they understand your worries, can answer your questions, and can use every legal option available to relieve your burden and get you the justice you deserve for enduring such a traumatic, devastating, and life-changing injury.
