Personal Injury

San Francisco Accident Lawyers

Some injuries are obvious. For instance, an accident victim may be paralyzed because of a broken back, or scarred from a chemical spill. However, some injuries are not as easily visible. Many chronic and painful conditions, such as those resulting from closed head or soft tissue injuries, are invisible to the outside world.

When a case involves this type of “invisible” injury, a unique challenge is presented. If the injury is not visible, the responsible party may refuse to provide a full and fair settlement. Similarly, a jury may not fully understand just how serious the injury is. As a result, they may award insufficient compensation to the injured person.

At the Law Offices of Sanford M. Cipinko, our attorneys have experience handling cases involving all types of injuries, including so-called “invisible” injuries. In instances when our clients have suffered injuries that may not be readily apparent, we make extensive use of visual aids and professionally designed videos. We have found that visual aids are useful to fully convey the severity of these injuries to a jury.
