Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger
The clients who call a Walkup California and Nevada back injury and traumatic brain injury attorney are worried about inadequate resources to provide for medical, attendant, nursing and other care. Parents are worried about the future of their brain-injured children and whether there will be adequate funding available to care for the children's needs throughout an otherwise normal life expectancy. No parent with a disabled child, whether as a result of cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury or back injury, wants to worry about that child's future after the parent passes on. Where a neurologically impaired client is a primary wage earner, spouses and children are concerned about where their economic support will come from in the future - any claim pursued on behalf of the victim must include adequate compensation to replace the lost stream of earnings, benefits and pension entitlement.
Every attorney on our team knows that adequate representation requires the use of experts in the fields of vocational rehabilitation, life care planning, physical medicine and rehabilitation, physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and a host of other disciplines. A Walkup brain injury and back injury attorney realizes that all life care plans must take into account future medical costs inflation. Our SCI clients have a lifetime of care ahead of them. They and their families are troubled about long-term medical issues resulting from paralysis. Many are concerned about the availability of insurance to cover chronic medical problems, attendant care issues, or prescription drugs. Caregivers are concerned for our TBI clients that those who are responsible for injury be made to pay for rehabilitation and retraining.
For over 45 years, our brain injury attorney specialists, and back injury attorney team has been committed to seeking justice for victims regardless of our clients' financial status, ethnic background, educational level or social standing. Our clients are often low-income, with neither the resources to absorb devastating personal losses caused by their injuries or the ability to pay a lawyer by the hour. We work on contingent fee contracts where the client pays legal fees only if the case is successful. If there is no recovery we charge no fee.
Whether our client is popular or unpopular, Walkup lawyers recognize every person's right to effective advocacy and to recover of adequate compensation. The specialists at Walkup represent people from all sectors of society. Whether it is a single parent who has sustained brain damage in an auto accident, a small business owner who has been rendered paralyzed due to a product failure, an infant who has become a spastic quadriplegic due to cerebral palsy because of medical malpractice, or a recent immigrant whose ability to think or remember has been impaired because of a flawed machine, each attorney makes certain that the civil
justice system works, that the rights of each client is protected, and that fair and just compensation is achieved. When clients hire us, they benefit from the resources of Nevada and Northern California's premier personal injury firm.
Oftentimes, those who sustain traumatic injury experience behavioral problems that are difficult for their family and friends to understand or accept. There may be a need to compensate an uninjured spouse for her loss of consortium, or to provide for the cost of therapy in order to deal with the changed personality of a loved one.
Brain injured and back injury clients have a lifetime of special needs ahead of them. You need an attorney that understands the anxiety and concern that comes with life-altering injuries. We work with families in order to help meet their needs now and in the future.
