The Dunnion Law Firm
Victims of spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in the San Jose, Modesto, Fresno, and Visalia areas have received maximum cash settlements as a direct result of the experience and aggressiveness of the lawyers of The Dunnion Law Firm. A catastrophic injury such as brain damage or paraplegia and quadriplegia caused by a spinal cord injury leaves a victim changed forever. A spinal or brain injury will affect one's ability to manage day-to-day functions that once came easily: eating, driving, walking, or even speaking. As a victim, you suffer not only the physical losses, but also the emotional trauma of learning to adapt to a new life. Anyone who has sustained a blow to the head or whiplash-like injuries should be evaluated by a medical professional to determine if TBI has taken place. In many cases, the symptoms may be so slight as to escape the victim’s notice, but if treatment is not available, further injury can develop. Also, symptoms may be delayed for several hours until the swelling of the brain reaches a point that it affects the victim. At The Dunnion Law Firm, our attorneys understand the gravity of a spinal cord or brain injury and are dedicated to helping our clients recover the compensation they need and deserve.
The Fresno, Modesto, San Jose, and Bay Area attorneys of The Dunnion Law Firm offer expert representation when it comes to handling spinal cord and brain injuries. Approximately 450,000 people in the United States have sustained spinal cord injuries, with more cases in emergency centers every day. These injuries are dramatically more common in men than in women. Spinal cord injuries are most commonly caused by motor vehicle accidents, but have also been caused by falls, acts of violence, sports-related injuries, or work-related injuries such as those from construction work. Spinal cord injuries are defined as any damage to the spinal cord that results in loss of function or mobility. Common types of severe spinal cord injuries include multiple sclerosis, spinal cord stroke, spina bifida, tumor, metastatic cancer, cervical injuries, full or partial paralysis, and herniated discs. The symptoms of a spinal cord injury may include extreme pain in the neck, head or back, tingling or loss of sensation in the hands, fingers, feet, or toes; loss of control over any part of the body; urinary or bowel urgency, incontinence, or retention; difficulty with balance and walking; impaired breathing after injury; and lumps on the head or spine, among others.
Often caused by automobile accidents, assault, falls, and sports injuries, traumatic brain injury can range from relatively mild to extremely severe; in the worst cases, brain injury may result in death or permanent disability. Our lawyers have extensive experience with the investigation and litigation of cases involving moderate and severe traumatic brain injury. The prospects for recovery in these cases vary a great deal from one victim to another, and it is critical that you never settle early as the early offers are almost certainly not adequate to cover the complete costs of home care and future treatment when expected recovery of cognitive function never materializes. We work closely with medical, vocational, and financial experts to determine the long-term needs and the future costs and implications of the injuries. In the worst traumatic brain injury situations, the victim's family may also be entitled to recover for the loss of the companionship and nurturance of the victim.
The attorneys at The Dunnion Law Firm work with a wide range of medical experts and accident reconstruction experts to arrive at a complete picture of the causes and effects of the accident that resulted in your spinal or traumatic brain injury. Obviously, these types of injuries can have devastating effects on the lifestyle and work ability of the victim. The Dunnion Law Firm will make sure that the individuals responsible for causing these life changing injuries pay the maximum amount possible to you.
