Spinal cord injuries are extremely serious and can lead to partial or full paralysis. Spinal cord damage may not immediately manifest itself. In fact, many spinal cord injuries show symptoms hours, days or weeks after an accident.

$3,750,000 — Spinal cord injury settlement for bus accident victim
We represented a 76-year-old who suffered a severed spinal cord when he was rear-ended by a San Francisco Municipal Railway bus. The bus driver was drunk, and our investigation revealed an extensive history of substance abuse and prior accidents. The accident left our client as a T-5 paraplegic. The settlement included enough money to provide him with the needed life care diagnosed by our experts.
$1,136,000 — Spinal cord injury settlement for motorcycle accident
Our 30-year-old client from Vallejo was riding his motorcycle slightly above the speed limit when a slow-moving backhoe in front of him moved partially into the shoulder and then started turning left in front of him, causing him to lay down his motorcycle and fracture his back and injure his spinal cord, which required spinal fusions at two vertebral levels. The adverse party predictably argued that our client was going at an excessive speed, but our expert motorcycle reconstructionist proved otherwise.
