The spinal cord is secondary only to the brain in complexity and fragility. Every year, thousands of individuals suffer spinal cord injury that can change their lives forever and devastate them personally and financially. Have you suffered from a spinal cord injury? You may benefit from an attorney specializing in spinal cord injuries like the attorneys here at Elia Law.
These injuries are generally split into two categories: complete spinal cord injury in which there is no sensory or motor function below the level of injury, and incomplete injury in which the patient retains some sensation or motor function after being hurt. Though recent years have brought many developments in the treatment of spinal cord injury, science has not yet broken through to a complete treatment for patients, who can be disabled for life.
Spinal cord injury can occur due to a variety of causes, which include diseases, malformations, and traumatic injuries in situations such as car crashes or assaults. Though every case of spinal cord injury is complex and unique, most involve damage to the white matter and/or gray matter of the spinal tissue. This causes myelopathy, which interferes with the body’s ability to communicate with the brain.
Statistically speaking, car crashes (see Car Accident Attorney) are the highest source of spinal cord injury, followed by assaults and falls. Males are more likely to sustain spinal cord injury in the later group.
Getting to trial may take 1-2 years or more.

The value of your case depends on many factors. Every San Diego spinal cord injury case is different. One factor is the nature and extent of your injury. Some people heal faster than others. One person may heal in a week, while another may take six months, a year, or may never heal from the injury. Another factor is the amount of your medical bills, future medical bills and lost earnings, etc. Contact our office at (619) 444-2244 for accurate advice on the value of your case.
Our office works with a variety of doctors in the San Diego who can provide immediate medical treatment and defer payment until the case is finished.
You pay us only IF we recover compensation for you through a settlement with the insurance company or a verdict through the court. If we do not recover compensation for you, you do NOT have to pay us for our time.
This depends on the extent of your injury. Typically, a San Diego personal injury case takes anywhere from two to eight months. Sometimes, cases take longer if they are more complex or if a lawsuit is filed. See our personal injury lawsuit timeline page for all the details on how long your case may take.
Not necessarily. Sometimes you are far better off without filing a lawsuit. Our San Diego personal injury law office typically files a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company, if any. We then attempt to negotiate with the insurance company. If you are dissatisfied with the insurance company’s offer, we may decide to file a lawsuit.
Putting a monetary value to each of those is what spinal cord injury attorneys do for their clients, and then we fight hard to attain you what you deserve. As in all San Diego personal injury cases, you are up against a behemoth in the insurance company which does not have your best interests in mind. They goal is to pay you as little as possible, and you are at a disadvantage if you try to take them on yourself. There is no need. That’s what we are here for. Let us fight the battle.
