Never give up hope. Medicine is making remarkable advances in both care, treatment
and technology.
I have represented thousands of people with spine injuries over my 35 years of personal injury practice, and children with spinal injuries are among the hardest claims to evaluate for settlement money value.
The coordination of multiple experts is needed, and your lawyer needs to fully understand the facts and the lifetime medical and cost implications.
Special considerations include:
Will your child need attendant care
How will the injury change over time as the child grows
Will there be a need to change out spinal fixation hardware, screws, plates
Are future surgeries contemplated and what will those surgeries cost
What will the cost be for future medical care, power wheelchairs, retrofitting the home architecture with ramps and bathroom facilities for disabled/ impaired day to day functioning.
Generally, I expect that your child’s major spinal injury claim will require experts such as a life care planner, a vocational expert, child psychologist, neurosurgeon, orthopedic surgeon/ spinal specialist, economist, radiologist.
I pay for and am responsible for all costs of non treating experts reviews and testimony, court attendance, and if there is no dollar recovery then you will not be responsible to pay them, under my retainer agreement.
Let’s see if we have a mutual good feeling when we speak together, and you will learn a lot about how the personal injury legal process works during our consultation.
I am here for you and your child. I invite your call, and you will experience no pressure to sign anything, to commit to anything, the consultation is free with no strings attached.
