Establishing The Full Value Of Your Case
There are numerous pieces of your case to account for and several factors that will guide our work in determining your case’s full and fair value.

The unique elements of your injury, the accident, and your specific losses and damages will affect the amount of your compensation and overall case.

Spinal Cord Injuries Can Be Devastating
When we look at data from the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC), we can see that the most common causes of spinal cord injuries include the following (percentages or from data gathered from 2015 to 2019):
- Vehicle accidents (39.3%).
- Falls (31.8%).
- Violence (13.5%).
- Sports and recreation incidents (8.0%).
- Medical or surgical mistakes (4.3%).
- Other (3.1%).
Spinal cord injuries can result in partial paralysis (paraplegia) or complete paralysis (quadriplegia) and affect entirely a victim’s life. In some cases, a victim can regain mobility and a sense of control over the situation. However, it is not uncommon for spinal cord injury victims to sustain permanent injuries that alter entirely their day-to-day lives and their ability to maintain employment.
Brain Injuries Can Lead To Long-term Consequences
Brain injuries occur in various ways in and around the Los Angeles area. Our attorneys regularly help clients who have sustained moderate to severe brain injuries caused by the following:
- Vehicle accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Falling from heights
- Sports injuries
- Workplace accidents
Many brain injuries are considered relatively minor, often classified as concussions. However, a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury could significantly impact a victim’s life. Some of the most common temporary or permanent signs and symptoms associated with brain injuries include the following:
- Mobility issues.
- Bodily weakness.
- Constant fatigue.
- Problems with speech.
- Loss of fine motor skills.
- Problems with balance.
- Memory or cognitive impairment.
- Complete or partial paralysis.
- Possible coma.
A traumatic brain injury affects a person’s ability to enjoy day-to-day activities, and a victim may no longer be able to work and earn income.
How Much Does A Los Angeles Brain And Spinal Cord Injury Attorney Cost
