San Francisco Personal Injury Lawyer

California Brain Injury/Spinal Cord Injury Attorney

At the San Francisco personal injury law firm of Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP, we work with many seriously injured people. In our experience, those involved in sports and rec accidents have often suffered the most serious personal injuries — head injuries, spinal cord injuries, loss of limbs, multiple fractures. For many of our clients, life will never be the same.

That's why we work so hard to ensure our clients get the financial compensation they need.

In order to achieve maximum physical recovery, our clients will have many medical and rehabilitation needs. These can be tremendously costly, adding up to hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars over a lifetime.

A closed head injury or traumatic brain injury from a fall, a tackle, being struck in the head by a baseball bat or golf club, or from lack of oxygen in a near-drowning accident can cause temporary cognitive problems or permanent brain damage requiring full-time nursing care.

Your loved one may need therapy to relearn basic skills. Job retraining may be needed if a previous job is no longer possible. A child who has suffered brain damage may need an educational assistant, special education programs and extra services.

A back or spinal cord injury from a diving accident, a bike accident or football accident will have differing effects depending upon which vertebrae were affected and whether the damage was "complete" or "incomplete."

As with a brain injury, your loved one may recover full or partial functioning and be able to live independently and return to school or work, or he or she may require full-time nursing care. Adaptations are usually needed for the home and workplace to accommodate equipment.

We have also handled personal injury cases involving the loss of limbs or body parts in water skiing and snow skiing accidents, burn injuries, and multiple broken bones and complex fractures.

In the worst cases, the person dies of their injuries. Our attorneys then represent family members in wrongful death claims against the negligent party.
