Over the years, our attorneys have worked with accident victims who were coping with a variety of catastrophic injuries. Some of the common types of injury claims we handle involve:
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Our experienced personal injury lawyers have successfully represented many people with devastating spinal cord injuries. This includes clients who have suffered paralysis as well as those who have undergone spinal surgery such as discectomy, laminectomy, and spinal fusion. We have a history of successfully obtaining substantial financial recoveries for accident victims and their families in cases involving spinal cord injury.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries: With a traumatic brain injury, the impact is life-altering for the victim as well as family members. From memory loss to cognitive difficulties to total incapacity, a brain injury almost always means major life changes for victims and their families. Although medical personnel, insurance company representatives, and others use terms like “mild” or “moderate” to describe many brain injuries, we believe that any brain damage is serious.
- Burn Injuries: The road to recovery can take years and seem out of reach after a fire or burn injury. Permanent scarring, disfigurement, and loss of use of the injured body part are real consequences, as is the emotional impact, which can last a lifetime.
- Amputation & Limb Loss: The loss of a body part ─ whether an arm, leg, foot, or hand ─ is devastating. Medical and rehabilitative costs associated with a traumatic amputation can be substantial. And the emotional toll cannot be underestimated. In some cases, amputations happen immediately during the accident. In others, they may be required later due to extensive tissue damage or for other reasons.
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is characterized by a sharp, chronic pain or burning in the arm or leg. Although no one really knows what causes it, CRPS most often occurs in the aftermath of a serious injury. Symptoms include intense and chronic pain, swelling, skin discoloration, accelerated temperature, abnormal sweating, and hypersensitivity.
- Birth Injuries: If your child was injured at birth and that injury was preventable, our attorneys can offer assistance and fight for the compensation you deserve for your child’s care. We treat each client with care and compassion. If you believe a doctor, other medical professional, or hospital is at fault for a serious birth injury to your child, contact us for a free case evaluation to discuss what happened and the legal options that may be available.
