Representing the Injured in Southern California
Ligament and tendon injuries can affect your life for many years ¾ and in some cases permanently. If a torn ACL or PCL ligament affects your gait or ability to walk, run or exercise, it can lead to systemic problems affecting other parts of your body.
At the law firm of Mathew & George in Los Angeles, our lawyers advocate on behalf of the injured. We represent people who suffer ligament and tendon injuries in slip and fall accidents, motor vehicle accidents and other types of personal injury cases. If you have suffered a ligament or tendon injury due to the negligence of another party, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
Obtaining Treatment for a Ligament or Tendon Injury
In California, your medical provider may have a financial incentive to recommend conservative treatment of your injury. While surgery is expensive and may leave you unable to work for a period of time, it may result in improved mobility — closer to what you had before the accident. If you are unsure of the treatment recommended by your provider, you should get a second opinion.
Our goal as attorneys is to help make you as whole as possible after an accident. That means helping you get proper medical care, as well as compensation for lost wages, loss of enjoyment of life and other damages.
What If I Don't Have Medical Insurance?
If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, it's important that you receive medical treatment for two reasons. The first reason is to help you recover physically from the accident. The second is to help you recover financially. Medical documentation of your injury is necessary to settle or try your case.
Our lawyers work with medical providers who will provide your treatment on a lien basis. Once your personal injury case is resolved by settlement or jury verdict, your medical provider will be paid from your award.
