Honoring Men’s Health Week

As Men’s Health Week begins and Father’s Day approaches, CD LAW is shining a light on the very real, and often overlooked, injuries that impact men. From life-changing accidents to long-term mental health effects, personal injuries can take a deep toll on men’s health, their work, and their families.

This week, we stand with the fathers, sons, brothers, and friends who’ve experienced trauma, and we’re here to make sure they’re protected both medically and legally.

Top 3 Life-Altering Personal Injury Risks

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) – Caused by car accidents, falls, or motorcycle crashes. TBIs often affect memory, personality, and the ability to work.
• Spinal Cord & Back Injuries – Common in construction accidents, rear-end crashes, and slip-and-falls. These can require lifelong care.
• Psychological Trauma – Men often suppress mental health struggles after an injury, leading to untreated PTSD, depression, or anxiety.

Many of these injuries qualify for compensation, including for emotional and psychological harm.

Mental Health & Legal Recovery

Men often carry the weight of appearing “strong” after an accident, ignoring signs of emotional strain. But the truth is:

• You can pursue compensation for emotional suffering
• You can include ongoing therapy costs in your case
• You should never settle quickly without exploring long-term health impacts

Whether he was hit while biking to work or injured in a fall, many LA dads keep working through pain. We advocate for every father’s right to proper treatment, rest, and compensation so they can be there for the ones who depend on them.

Legal Tip of the Week

Document Everything. Even the Emotional Toll. Your mental health after an injury matters. Always:
