California Nerve Damage Lawyers

Nerve damage can be extremely debilitating, making work and daily living a challenge to the injured person. What makes it worse is the difficulty of diagnosis. At the Law Offices of Kenneth W. Drake & Associates, Inc. ("Drake & Associates"), we have more than 40 years of experience investigating injuries – including nerve damage, brain damage, paralysis and spinal injuries -- and related medical conditions and problems.
Documenting nerve injuries can be very tricky. The diagnostic testing routinely ordered does not always pinpoint the problem. Often, it can be hard to prove how the nerves were injured –compounding this problem, it can take time for the injury to move from a problem with sensation to one that impairs motor function. Nerve damage, or injuries to the nerves, can range in severity depending on the nature of the trauma, the type of nerve affected by the damage, and the treatment options undertaken, contemplated or recommended for the victim

The 3 types of nerves include:

• Autonomic Nerves – these control involuntary actions, like blood pressure
• Motor Nerves – these allow you to consciously control your movements
• Sensory Nerves – these allow you to feel sensations such as pain, temperature and pressure

We offer experienced legal advice and aggressive representation to clients who have suffered brain injuries, spinal cord injuries or other nerve damage in a car crash, workplace accident, slip and fall accident or through a surgical mistake or other medical malpractice.

Personal Attention from Experienced Attorneys

Nerve damage, and chronic pain that often accompanies nerve damage, can increase with time. At the time of the car accident, medical negligence or other traumatic event causing such an injury, the extent of the nerve damage may not be known. Many medical professionals, however well-meaning, are ill-equipped to fully diagnose, document or recommend the most effective treatments (if any effective treatments are even available) for these types of injuries. Victims of nerve damages and similar types of injuries often valiantly work through their pain, hoping it will go away with time.
