Paralysis / Spinal Cord Injury

Irvine California Spinal Cord Injury and Accident Attorney

Spinal cord injuries often result in paralysis and serious medical complications that require years of treatment and physical therapy. At the offices of Purcell Law in Irvine and Santa Ana, we work closely with experienced medical professionals, economists, and life care planners who document the extent of our clients' injuries and the costs they face as a result. As your lawyer, Mr. Purcell presents established health care cost data detailing costs associated with paralysis and spinal cord injuries. Before settling or trying any spinal cord injury case, our office takes into consideration the cost of future surgery, physical therapy, in-home nursing care, institutional care, medical equipment, prescription drugs, lost earnings, and loss in quality of life. We have the expert witness resources, knowledge of the insurance industry, and financial sophistication needed to demand awards and settlements proportional to the financial impact of paralysis and spinal cord injuries for our clients.

If you have questions regarding the legal options available to you for recovering damages in a spinal cord injury case, contact personal injury lawyer Christopher Purcell today. We provide free consultations. We are available for evening and weekend appointments if you are unable to meet with us during regular office hours.

An Accident that Results in Paralysis and Spinal Cord Injury

The Santa Ana and Irvine offices of Purcell Law represents clients suffering from paralysis and spinal cord injuries due to the following:

• Car accident
• Truck accident
• Motorcycle crash
• Construction site accident
• Diving or boating accident
• Falling debris
• Defective products - roof crush, SUV rollovers, failed seat belt clasp

Assessing Loss in Quality of Life

Operating as "for profit" corporations, insurance companies are committed to reducing costs by reducing the amount they pay in claims. While data collected by HMOs and insurers has established known costs regarding paraplegia, quadriplegia, crushed vertebrae, and various spinal cord injuries, loss in quality of life is more difficult to quantify. As a result, insurers employ a number of strategies to avoid paying compensation for pain and suffering.

While we're prepared to go into great detail in analyzing medical costs associated with paralysis and spinal cord injuries, Mr. Purcell also emphasizes the human element in each of his cases. Regardless of the kind of accident involved, each case involves a person who is someone's mother, daughter, husband, or son - real people whose lives are irrevocably changed by the negligence of someone else. As your attorney, Mr. Purcell tells the jury your story, demonstrating what life was like before your accident and the struggles you face everyday as a result of your injuries.

Our law practice focuses exclusively on personal injury. As a result, we employ all of our resources and knowledge in personal injury cases in order to stay on the cutting edge of issues in medicine, forensic science, accident investigation, and the insurance industry.

We're prepared for the technical and scientific demands complicated spinal injury cases require. To schedule a free consultation and discuss how we can help you, contact the offices of Purcell Law today.
