Walnut Creek Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys
Spinal injuries are generally the most serious kind of injury since it tends to affect every aspect of our clients' lives, resulting in permanent disability, wage loss and ongoing pain and suffering.
If you have suffered a neck or spinal cord injury as a result of a workplace accident or an outside of work accident caused by the negligence of another person or company, you can recover monetary compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity and pain and suffering. An experienced Concord neck injury attorney can help you understand your options for recovery.
The Goforth & Lucas Law Partnership attorneys have decades of experience guiding clients through the often difficult and frustrating process of recovering monetary compensation from insurance companies. Much of the frustration comes from the fact that insurance companies will often view the spinal injury as a "soft tissue injury". Yet many times, even where there is no herniated or bulging disc, this injury can cause life long disability and extensive pain. A neck injury affects a number of muscles, tendons and ligaments. This resistance by insurance carriers is typical and can be overcome by having an experienced lawyer and orthopedic doctor on your side. We litigate or mediate our clients' claims with the insurance company lawyers with the goal of recovering the maximum compensation possible.
Commonly, we see that the injuries involving the neck and back have more to do with damage to the spinal cord. We understand the unfortunate reality that our clients might have to deal with pain or loss of mobility for the rest of their lives. Our firm strives to level the playing field for the client thus helping the client to overcome insurance company objections and create a stable financial future.
We see to it that our clients receive monetary settlements or judgments for all the damages that they are legally entitled to including:
- Temporary disability/recovery of lost wages
- Permanent disability/recovery of lost earning capacity
- Proper ongoing medical care
- Assurances that future medical care will be covered
- Pain and suffering damages
- Vocational retraining voucher/damages
- Emotional distress counseling/damages
