Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer Las Vegas
“My husband James and I were married professionals with good jobs in the city. We were planning to start a family. One Saturday morning in 2011, James went out for a bike ride. At an intersection, an oncoming driver failed to see him and they crashed head-on. James was wearing a helmet, which saved his life, but he sustained a severe spinal cord injury."
The doctors told me that James had lost all movement and might never regain it. I immediately contacted a lawyer to discuss his case. At the same time, I took unscheduled leave from work to care for my husband in the hospital. With the loss of two incomes, we soon ran low on our savings and started to accumulate debts and bills. We needed to sell our two-story home and move into a smaller, single-level place with step-free access and special disability and rehabilitation adaptations, plus a spare bedroom for my husband’s live-in, 24-hour caregiver.
Our attorney went straight to work. Luckily, there was CCTV footage and witnesses to the accident, so we knew that we had a strong case. Our lawyer prepared a very detailed case file with multiple expert statements, medical reports, and an accident reconstruction report, which was presented as a basis to negotiate with the driver’s insurance for a settlement. The settlement covered all of James’ hospital expenses, ongoing care costs and our combined loss of income. After two years, we received a seven-figure lump sum award, with regular additional medical maintenance payments on a schedule for the remainder of James’ life.
James’ condition has improved. He will not walk again but has regained some movement. The accident was tragic and our lives are irreversibly damaged, but our home is secure and James will be well cared for as long as he lives. We are very grateful to our attorneys for getting the best possible outcome from a terrible situation.”
