Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer
We’re here to fight for you.
A spinal cord injury has a devastating impact on someone’s life and the lives of their loved ones. On top of the physical and emotional consequences, there are other issues such as care costs, house and car modifications, loss of income and immediate needs for acute rehabilitation and retraining.
Many of the financial costs are hard to foresee at the time of injury and arise later in the injured person’s life. This uncertainty can make the legal and insurance maze even harder to navigate. At Hooper Law, our team of spinal cord injury lawyers understand these issues and have years of experience helping people like you. We fight hard to get you, and the ones you love, the care, benefits, and compensation you deserve, leaving you free to concentrate on your rehabilitation.
Personal injury cases are time sensitive, so it is important to contact us as soon as possible after you have been in an accident. If you are unable to meet us at our law offices, a member of our team will be happy to have a consultation with you at your home or hospital to review the details of your case.
Determining how much compensation you will need to have a good standard of living following a spinal cord injury is extremely worrisome – especially when you are already stressed and in pain. It is best not to sign anything before you have consulted with a lawyer.
We will meet with you and review the details of your case, consult with medical doctors and help you determine how much compensation you will be entitled to receive. We will speak to your insurance company on your behalf, so you have more time to focus on your recovery. Our team of personal injury lawyers has a stellar track record of obtaining the best possible compensation for clients with spinal cord injuries. Often compensation is won in a settlement, but our lawyers are ready to take your case to court if necessary.
If you have suffered a spinal cord injury, you know that the road to recovery can be a long one. Having an experienced and compassionate personal injury lawyer on your side will help to ease some of the stress and help to ensure that you are treated fairly. Turn to Hooper Law. We are here to fight for you.
“There are few words that can adequately capture the devastation that a spinal cord injury brings. You and your loved ones have so many hurdles ahead in your recovery, without also feeling worried about a lawsuit and insurance benefits that may be necessary because of your injuries. I want to equip you with the information and support you need to minimize the worry about this part of your experience, so you can focus on your recovery.”
