No Fees Until YOU Win
I spoke with Ian ( lead attorney ) this morning about a possible case. Although my case wasn’t strong, he literally took an hour to discuss and give law based facts as to how a case works and why my case would be a challenge. Ian is a true gentleman and has an approach that is unmatched! If you have a possible case do yourself a favor and reach out to him… it will be the most honest answer you can get during a tough situation. Good Luck with your journey!!

I got rear-ended in the In-N-Out drive thru. It wasn’t a very high speed accident. But by the time I got home I could barely stand up. My back has been a little fragile ever since the military and the impact of that minor accident did a number on me.â¨â¨The damage to my car was only $500 (tough Jeep bumper). Luckily, I knew not to trust the insurance company and that they would use the minor damage to screw me over.â¨â¨I called Sam & Ash on a weekend and was immediately guided what to do and taken care of.â¨â¨Not only would I have got a worse result (and probably not recovered fully), but it would have been so much MORE DIFFICULT if I did it on my own. Instead, they handled literally everything except going to my appointments. When the chiro stopped giving me progress, they helped me find a physical therapist. My result? I’m pretty close to 100% recovered and they put close to 10k in my pocket (even after medical bills). Incredible. I don’t think I could have got a few hundred in my pocket on my own.

Sam & Ash Injury Law is one of the best law firms I worked with. I highly recommend them to anyone that needs help and support with their case. The caseworkers are nice and they care. Kayla called and checked on me and sent me flowers when my grandmother passed away as I was still working through the difficulties of my injury. Please give them a call and check them out. Best experience

Ian McTaggart, managing partner of Sam & Ash LLP, is an excellent lawyer. I was very satisfied with his knowledge, professionalism and candor. Plus, he quickly returned my phone calls, was easily available and gave me expert advice on a rather tricky case. I highly recommend Ian, and Sam & Ash LLP, to anyone in Southern California seeking personal injury representation.

We’re Here To Help
If you suffered a spinal cord injury, it’s important to talk with a lawyer as soon as possible. We can help you find every possible source of compensation and connect you with expert resources who can support your recovery.
While you focus on healing, we’ll handle the insurance companies and build a strong case to help you get the compensation you deserve.
Filing A Claim For A Spinal Cord Injury
A spinal cord injury can cause serious, long-term complications that affect your health, independence, and ability to work. In California, the value of your claim depends on the specifics of your case — including how the injury occurred, the part of the spine affected, and the insurance coverage available.
You typically have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim in California. Missing this deadline could mean giving up your right to compensation.
A spinal cord injury claim may cover medical expenses, surgeries, rehabilitation, home modifications, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
A spinal cord injury lawyer can explain your rights, gather evidence, calculate the full extent of your damages, negotiate with the insurance company, and take your case to court if needed.
What To Do After
After a spinal cord injury in California, take these steps to help protect your case for compensation:
Call 911
Responders will secure the area, control the situation, and prepare an official report, ensuring proper documentation for any necessary follow-up.
Save All Evidence
Take photo and video of the scene. Store reports, important items, and any records securely so nothing useful to your case is lost or misplaced.
Seek Medical Attention
A prompt exam can uncover unseen injuries and create important documentation for your claim
Follow Your Doctor’s Instructions
Attend all follow-up appointments, complete recommended treatments, and participate in any necessary therapies.
Report the Accident
If the incident occurred in public, notify nearby people, business owners, or file an incident report.
Contact a Lawyer
Do not wait to get the legal advice you need. We can start investigating the accident, preserving evidence, and protecting you from day one.
Journal
Record detailed notes about how the accident occurred and track symptoms, treatments, and recollections related to your recovery process.
Limit Social Media
Refrain from posting about your incident—anything posted online could impact your claim.
Spinal Cord Injury Symptoms And Treatment
The spinal cord plays a critical role in sending signals between the brain and the body. When it’s damaged, symptoms can vary depending on the location and severity of the injury. Common symptoms include difficulty breathing, loss of sensation or tingling in the limbs, trouble with movement or coordination, muscle spasms, pain or pressure along the spine, and in serious cases, full or partial paralysis.
Treatment may involve surgery, medication, immobilization, and long-term rehabilitation. While some patients may regain function, complete spinal cord injuries often lead to permanent complications, including paralysis and loss of bodily control.
