San Diego Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

Severe spinal cord injuries can have serious consequences on victims’ lives. Many victims are unable to function as they did before the injury occurred and most are reliant on the care of others for help performing the simplest daily tasks like bathing, eating and getting in and out bed. Unfortunately, physical pain and loss of function is often compounded by the financial strain a severe injury can have on victims and their families. Spinal cord injury treatment costs can accrue quickly and soar into the millions.

The experienced attorneys in Los Angeles at the Mitchell Law Corporation have formed strong partnerships with experienced professionals in the medical and neurological fields. With every case we take, our goal is to ensure our clients recover the workers’ compensation benefits they need for past, current and future medical needs.

Filing a lawsuit may sound simple. However, the legal process can be complicated for the inexperienced. At the Mitchell Law Corporation, our aggressive lawyers in San Diego have years of experience litigating complex cases and have secured victims large settlements for the damages related to their injuries.

The various types of damages victims may obtain workers’ compensation for include but are not limited to:

• Hospitalizations
• Doctor visits
• Rehabilitation
• Medical devices
• Caregiving expenses
• Lost wages and benefits
• Physical pain
• Emotional distress

• Incomplete spinal cord injury: An incomplete spinal cord injury occurs when a victim has some movement and sensation below the injury site. Most victims suffering from an incomplete spinal cord injury are able to recover some function. However, even with the best possible treatment, it is likely that a victim will face long-term health conditions.
• Complete spinal cord injury: A victim who has sustained a complete spinal cord injury has permanently lost all sensation and movement below the site of injury. Complete spinal cord injuries suffered at work may result in a patient’s inability to walk, talk or breathe. In most cases, patients suffering from a complete spinal cord injury need round-the-clock care and long-term medical treatment.
