Our Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers Pursue Significant Compensation for Victims

If you have experienced a significant personal injury that damaged your spinal cord, you should consult with an experienced and skilled lawyer as quickly as possible. These injuries can have a significant and permanent impact on your life, and it is vital to establish fault against guilty parties and seek maximum compensation for the pain and suffering you have endured because of another’s negligence or wrongdoing. A spinal cord injury lawyer atMcKinley, Conger, Jolley & Galarneau, LLP, in Stockton, CA, understands how devastating these injuries can be, both for victims and their families. You do not have to face the fall-out or deal with insurance companies alone.

Effects of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries can have lasting consequences for victims. Because of this organ’s vital role in the central nervous system, almost all spinal cord injuries result in some form of lost mobility or paralysis. These effects can range from limited use of an arm and hand, to complete paralysis of the lower body or upper and lower body. While some victims eventually regain some mobility (usually through multiple surgeries and extensive physical rehabilitation), many are wheelchair-bound for the rest of their lives. Permanent paralysis dramatically changes the way victims—and their families—live their daily lives.

Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries can happen in almost any type of accident. One person’s negligence can drastically change another’s life. Some of the most common accidents resulting in spinal cord injuries include:

Premises liability accidents, especially slip and falls
Motor vehicle accidents
Construction accidents
Bicycle accidents

These serious injuries can also occur during sports activities and while under the care of medical professionals. Since spinal cord damage can lead to permanent losses, victims should seek legal counsel from an experienced personal injury lawyer.

Our Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers can Establish Liability

Testimonials

I had a very vicious divorce that took over 3 years. My ex-wife went through 3 attorneys trying to keep up and gain the upper hand…It was a hard road, but I’m very thankful I stayed the path with John, he knew what he was doing and his strategy worked flawlessly.

I have worked with John as co-counsel and against John as opposing counsel. There is no one more ethical and hard-working.
