San Francisco & Oakland Paralysis Lawyers
People who have suffered paralyzing spinal cord injuries face many challenges. They must learn new ways of performing basic tasks. They may not be able to return to their occupations, so they may need to learn new skills. A paralyzed person can also suffer long-term health problems such as difficulty breathing, cardiovascular problems, and depression.
Northern California has some of the nation’s leading rehabilitation hospitals, so help is available for people who have suffered paralysis or paraplegia. But how can a spinal cord injury victim obtain the funds to pay for those services? What if the accident victim can no longer work? What if his or her condition is so severe that the victim must live in a residential care facility?
At Bracamontes & Vlasak, P.C., we have answers to these and other questions. We help victims of car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and other life-changing events obtain compensation for medical care, rehabilitation therapy, and other services that can make a positive difference in their lives.
Creating A Comprehensive Life Care Plan
In cases involving life-changing and catastrophic injuries, Bracamontes & Vlasak, P.C., retains the services of a life care planner. This medical professional will create a document that specifies all of the medical care, rehabilitation services, and personal services the accident victim will need for the remainder of his or her life. This will be personalized to meet the specific needs of your loved one and your family.
For example, it could include the need for a wheelchair-compatible van, alterations to your home to make life easier for your loved one, long-term care in a residential facility or home health care services. Once the life care plan has been developed, the spinal cord injury attorneys at Bracamontes & Vlasak, P.C., will seek compensation for those needs, as well as other economic and noneconomic losses.
