Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer San Francisco

Key Takeaways

• Spinal cord injuries, including quadriplegia and paraplegia, cause life-altering physical disabilities and require long-term, verifiable life care planning and medical management.
• Insurers often attempt to limit settlement offers to immediate economic costs, ignoring significant non-economic losses like physical pain, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life.
• Common causes of severe spinal trauma include car and truck crashes, motorcycle collisions, pedestrian impacts, bicycle accidents, construction site falls, and slip-and-fall incidents.
• Achieving full financial recovery involves working with medical economists and certified life care planners to project total lifetime care costs and ongoing lost earning capacity.
• An experienced San Francisco spinal cord injury attorney negotiates aggressively with insurance providers and prepares every case for trial to secure maximum compensation.

Spinal cord injuries such as vertebrae fracture and compression often leave people disabled or paralyzed. Additionally, quadriplegia and paraplegia often lead to serious medical complications, increasing the need for in-home care and hospitalization. Working with experienced medical economists and life care planners, The Cartwright Law Firm accurately determines the costs spinal cord injury victims face as the result of their condition. Our lawyers project costs based on cost data used by HMOs and the insurance industry. As a result, the numbers involved are known, accurate, and verifiable. However, since the insurance industry typically compensates accident victims for economic losses only, non-economic losses such as diminished quality of life and pain and suffering are almost never included in settlement calculations.

At Cartwright Law Firm, we demand compensation for what our clients have had to suffer as the result of someone else’s negligence. If a serious spinal cord injury has left you disabled or severely injured, contact spinal cord injury lawyers at The Cartwright Law Firm today.

Understanding The Legal Options Available For Financial Recovery

Due to the cost associated with spinal cord injuries, most liability coverage and medical coverage is exhausted relatively quickly. Insurance companies are usually interested in settling a case rather than entering into expensive litigation. While we prepare each case for litigation, we are also prepared to negotiate a settlement when our client prefers to do so. While we protect your rights and interests, we always discuss the options available to you throughout the course of your case.

I cannot recommend Cartwright Law Firm and Andrew Ratto highly enough. He helped me through a very difficult time in my life and I do not know how I would have managed to get through it without the firm's professional guidance and support.

Everyone at the Cartwright Firm is very likeable. The attorneys and staff are kind, thoughtful, and sincere. They helped walk me through the entire process and were patient when explaining the legal jargon I didn't understand. It is clear they not only really care about your claim, but care about making sure you understand whats going on. Can't recommend them enough!

I worked with the Cartwright law Firm over 20 years ago and on a recent trip to San Francisco I met with Rob and his team of Attorneys for over 2 hours to get an opinion on a legal matter. I was extremely impressed at the professional attitude and real caring I received from their office. Please feel free to watch my VIDEO review vid.us/57pftr

The Cartwright Law Firm is very professional and responsive to client needs. I recently had a personal injury case in which David Yen, and an associate from their firm, was able to obtain a fabulous result for me, and I never even had to step into the court room. Thank you again The Cartwright Law Firm!
