A devastating spinal cord injury can strike anyone at any time, usually as the result of a car crash or other serious accident.
Drivers who cause high-impact collisions, property owners who fail to fix hazards like broken stairs or wet floors, and manufacturers who release unsafe products all can be held accountable when their negligence leads to a spinal cord injury. These injuries often require lifelong care, and the legal claims tied to them demand experience and attention to detail.
At the Law Offices of Eslamboly Hakim, our experienced spinal cord injury attorneys are here to help you navigate this challenging journey. With over 20 years of experience, our team guides you through the legal process, protects your rights, and ensures you receive maximum compensation for serious injuries. This compensation usually includes money for economic losses, such as medical bills, and non-economic losses, such as pain and suffering. Additional punitive damages are available as well, in some extreme cases.
The spinal cord is a fragile chain of exposed nerves and shell-like bones that contain putty-like discs. Any damage to any part of this chain, no matter how slight, usually causes serious injuries that are difficult to treat. Either a trauma injury or a long-term disease could cause such damage.

If negligent drivers receive citations for violations like speeding or failure to yield the right of way and that violation substantially causes injury, the tortfeasor (negligent driver) may be responsible for damages as a matter of law under the negligence per se rule.
The ordinary negligence doctrine also applies in many car crash cases. Aggressive driving, like speeding and failure to look, usually breaches a driver’s duty of care. So does driving while sick, fatigued, or otherwise impaired. Compensation is available if a breach of duty causes injury.
Doctors and other degreed professionals have a higher duty of care in California, making it easier for a spinal cord injury lawyer in Los Angeles to prove negligence, or a lack of care, in misdiagnosis, surgical error, and other such matters.
Most property owners have a similar legal responsibility. Their improved and unimproved property must be free from wet spots on walkways, sinkholes, loose rails, and other injury hazards. The owner’s knowledge of the injury-causing defect is often the key issue in these cases. Employers are strictly liable for work-related SCIs and most other injuries. Similarly, companies are strictly liable for the damages their defective products cause.
