California Accident Lawyers Ball & Roberts Win Settlement For Victimized College Student

Civil trial firm settles multimillion dollar injury case for study abroad student.

PASADENA, Calif. Nov. 4, 2009--California accident lawyers Ball & Roberts, a civil trial law firm in Southern California, have announced the successful settlement of a case involving a Los Angeles area student. The student had fallen and sustained spinal injuries as a result of a balcony collapse in Florence, Italy, while studying abroad.

The accident lawyers began trial in the Los Angeles Superior Court in 2006. In one of the first such lawsuits that has attempted to hold an American entity liable for the negligence of those they employ overseas, the case settled midway through trial for a confidential multimillion dollar figure.

Specializing in severe and life-changing injuries in California, particularly spinal cord and compression injury cases, the accident lawyers at Ball & Roberts have achieved great success in helping their clients who have sustained harm both in California and overseas.

The spinal cord connects the brain to the rest of the body, transmitting nerve impulses that control every movement and sensation a person experiences. Spinal injuries naturally have a devastating effect on victims and their families.

Recovering from a serious spinal cord injury can involve years of painful surgeries, rehab, physical therapy and occupational therapy, as well as dealing with psychological issues. Life care planners are needed for rehabilitation and other long-term care needs. Secondary problems can include pressure sores, bladder infections and palsies.

The evaluation of spinal cord injuries requires the input and assistance of a number of medical professionals, therapists, work adaptation specialists and economists. People suffering severe back or spinal cord damage need the support of skilled accident lawyers.

Ball & Roberts consult with neurologists, neurosurgeons and other specialists to determine the full extent of the damage and what will be required for their clients’ recovery and care.

Ball & Roberts’ extensive trial experience, combined with a focus on legitimate, realistic claims, and a deep understanding of the complexities associated with each case, gives them an uncommon ability to deliver the best possible outcome for each and every client.
