PARAPLEGIA INJURY LAWYER

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury that has resulted in the loss or paralysis of your legs, the attorneys at the Law Offices of Michael A. Fiumara would like to first express our heartfelt wishes for a speedy recovery.  If your paraplegia injury was due to the negligence of another party or an insurance carrier will not fairly compensate you for your losses, the experienced and highly skilled legal team of personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Michael A. Fiumara will work closely with you to hold every party responsible to help you restore your financial circumstances and assist you with the long road to recovery.

Even if the accident that led to your debilitating and catastrophic injury was partially due to your fault, you can still recover compensation if another party was also negligent.  While your recovery may be reduced for any percentage of fault that is assigned to you, the monetary compensation that you receive with our help can still make a big difference in your life.  We are here to maximize your monetary compensation and to minimize the fault attributed to you and any of your actions.

At the Law Offices of Michael A. Fiumara, we represent people who suffer catastrophic back and spinal injuries, including paraplegia and quadriplegia.

No matter how you were injured, we offer a free initial confidential consultation and a free case evaluation.  With offices in Santa Rosa and Palm Springs, we represent spinal cord injury victims throughout the entire North Bay.

WE FIGHT FOR YOU

Unfortunately, the types of catastrophic injuries that cause paraplegia are most often avoidable.  If the negligent action of an unsafe or distracted driver, improperly maintained machinery operator or any negligent act has contributed to the events that caused your paraplegia injury, the personal injury lawyers at the Law Offices of Michael A. Fiumara will work hard to establish liability and to secure the full compensation for your expenses and losses that you deserve.

The cost is immeasurable for those who suffer a spinal cord injury resulting in paraplegia.  Oftentimes even after completing an extensive and grueling rehabilitation program, paraplegics have only a limited use of their arms and may have difficulty regaining some of their independence.  This means that many paraplegics will require ongoing future medical care and some degree of assistance and care pertaining to all of their daily chores.  We often know that a financial award will never substitute for that loss of mobility and what the quality of life was prior to your paraplegia accident.
