Spinal Cord Injuries

Denver Spinal Cord Injury Attorney - Paralysis

Falls from heights, industrial or construction accidents, truck accidents, and severe recreational vehicle or motor vehicle collisions can cause complex fractures to the vertebrae, resulting in damage to the spinal cord. Nerve damage usually begins immediately and gets progressively worse until aggressively and effectively treated. When paralysis or quadriplegia results, you will need an experienced lawyer who knows how to present your damages claim in order to obtain compensation that will cover the full extent of your losses. For a free consultation on a spinal cord injury claim, contact the John J. Mattey Law Offices in Englewood.

In any serious or catastrophic injury case, we get experts involved with your claim immediately. It is essential to make a close connection between the physical dynamics of the accident and the resulting injuries and medical conditions as soon as possible, so that we can take the initiative in dealing with the defendant's insurer. By assessing and documenting both liability and damages from the earliest possible point in the case, we increase the likelihood of a favorable settlement for your spinal cord injury.

In the most serious spinal cord injury cases involving paraplegia or quadriplegia, we take special care to maximize the value of your claim by carefully projecting the expenses of such economic losses as adaptive technology, home care, and rehabilitation therapy. In documenting the physical injuries through expert medical testimony, we also engage rehabilitative experts to demonstrate the impact of the accident on the circumstances of your daily life. We prove just what will be required to make the successful transition to life with limited mobility.

With sharp restrictions in place under Colorado law on the amount of damages a jury can award for pain and suffering or other intangible losses, your lawyer's ability to demonstrate your actual damages in detail will make all the difference in the amount of your recovery.
