San Diego Personal Injury Attorney
A San Diego Personal injury attorney with knowledge, resources and commitment to helping accident victims
Victims of auto accidents and other serious accidents sustain injuries that can alter their lives, sometimes forever. Many of these injuries may only become evident over time. San Diego Personal Injury Attorney Gary A. Sernaker handles all injury claims including:
- Spinal Cord Injuries — Damage to the spinal cord impacts the entire body. If caused by trauma to the neck, for example, paralysis of the limbs may occur.
- Back injuries — Sprains, strains, spinal fractures, vertebral disc injuries and spinal fusion can result from trauma to the back.
- Herniated discs — When herniated, discs in the neck or spine can press on a nerve, causing chronic pain. Surgery is often required.
- Joint injuries — Popping, clicking or grinding in the knee can signal an internal problem such as damage to the anterior cruciate ligament or ACL at the front of the knee, damage to the posterior cruciate ligament or PCL at the back of the knee or a torn meniscus. An inability to lift an arm over the head can signal a total or partial rotator cuff injury.
- Amputations — A workplace or roadway accident may be responsible for the preventable loss of a limb, perhaps by faulty machinery or getting pinned under a vehicle. An amputation may also be required due to injuries sustained through an accident.
- Severe burns — Recovery from severe burns is a painful and often a lengthy process that may include surgery, skin grafts, physical and occupational therapy, rehabilitation and counseling.
- Closed-head injuries — Concussions, hematomas or bleeding within the brain number among the injuries an accident victim can sustain. Several physical and cognitive symptoms may occur: altered breathing, amnesia, difficulty in walking, blurred vision, disorientation, dizziness, headache, impaired speech, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, personality changes and seizures.
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) — Traumatic brain injuries are caused by a blow to the head by an external force such as the head hitting the asphalt during a slip and fall or hitting the steering wheel.
