A victim of a catastrophic injury caused by negligence needs an aggressive firm to represent them. Paralysis is an example of a catastrophic injury. Triumph Law is the team to call if you’ve become paralyzed because of someone else.
Regardless of the cause, our Rancho Cordova personal injury lawyers can help you fight for justice and compensation. Paralysis is extremely expensive to treat, and you will need every penny you can get from the insurers. Let us fight to get you the money you need.
Complications of Paralysis
Paralysis happens when the spinal cord gets severed. This central nerve is the main trunk of communication between the brain and the rest of the body. All the nerves below the break stop working. This is life-changing at a minimum, and it could be deadly.
You may not be able to move your arms, legs, or both after a paralysis accident, but there are other complications you may not know about. These include bowel and bladder dysfunction, breathing problems, sexual dysfunction, increased risk of infections, and much more. You may also have partial spinal cord damage that creates incredible pain in the body.
It’s common to need long-term or in-home health care for the rest of your life after paralysis. Paying for this will be expensive, but there is a way you can do it. Our Rancho Cordova paralysis injury lawyers will pursue a lawsuit to get you the compensation you need for medical care, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.
Your Triumph Is Our Triumph
(916) 500-0000Don’t Accept a Settlement Before Speaking With Us
Paralysis isn’t something you can fake. Once an insurer knows their policyholder caused someone’s paralysis, they will try to settle with you as quickly as possible. They know that paralysis cases can be extremely expensive to pay for.
Their offer may look large, but don’t be fooled. Take your settlement offer to Triumph Law and let our lawyers examine the details. Statistics show lifetime care for paralysis can easily reach into the millions. If their settlement offer doesn’t match your genuine needs, then you need someone who will negotiate for a better deal and take them to trial if they won’t settle fairly.
Our team has helped many victims of paralysis get the compensation they need to pay for things like home accommodation renovations, rehabilitation, mental health care to cope with life changes, and more. We have achieved many triumphs for past clients, and we want to help you triumph as well.

Insurance Company Tactics in Paralysis Cases
Since the costs of caring for paralysis are so high, insurance companies will try lots of things to discredit your claims or lower the value of your case. Without the help of a Rancho Cordova paralysis injury lawyer on your side, you can expect actions like:
- Blame you for the accident and ignoring your requests for money
- Demanding complicated paperwork before processing your claim
- Question you about your injuries and severity in a way that could make you look bad
- Try to force you to accept a lower settlement amount
- Misrepresent the details of their policy
- Taking their time with your claim to financially pressure you
Once you have a lawyer, you’re protected from these tactics. In fact, your lawyer will take over all communication between you and the insurer. This frees you to focus on your care instead of worrying about what the insurance company will do.

What’s Required to Win a Paralysis Case?
Most paralysis cases are going to be won through proving negligence. Exceptions include deliberate harm (e.g., you were shot), or medical malpractice, which is harder to prove than negligence. Four things are needed to prove negligence caused your injury:
- Whoever harmed you had a reasonable responsibility for your safety. This is called a duty of care.
- That person or company violated your safety by breaking the duty of care.
- That violation caused your accident.
- That accident caused your paralysis and all the associated damages.
You can get compensation once we’ve proven negligence. Our injury lawyers will investigate what happened and compile evidence to show these four things. After we have proven that the defendant was negligent, the next step is negotiating how much your case is worth.
To help us get evidence for your case, your lawyer may instruct you to do things like get additional testing or keep a record of your experiences after your accident. They’ll also give advice on what to do to prevent the insurer from lowering your compensation.
Is There a Deadline to File My Case?
Lawyers often urge potential clients to call as soon as possible after their accident. The reason is the statute of limitations. After you’ve been hurt, there’s a clock that starts ticking down. Once it runs out, you cannot claim compensation for your accident.
This clock should help both sides find justice by preserving evidence, but people who are paralyzed are at a disadvantage for hiring a lawyer in person. However, Triumph Law will come to you for your consultation even if you’re still in the hospital recovering.
As long as you can hold a conversation or have a loved one who can speak on your behalf, we can get your case started. Our Rancho Cordova paralysis injury lawyers will have more time to investigate and negotiate your case with the insurers if they can start early, so we urge you to contact us now to get started.
