Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

You may be entitled to benefits if your catastrophic injuries were the result of another individual’s careless or reckless actions. Filing a claim can be a tedious process that often requires the knowledge and expertise of a competent personal injury lawyer. Our firm is adept at compiling medical evidence to support your claim for damages involving catastrophic injuries such as:

Spinal cord damage

Head trauma

Brain injuries

Dismemberment

Back injuries

Neck injuries

Catastrophic injuries are serious, life-altering injuries which typically incur exorbitant medical bills, not to mention the fact that they can cost the injured victim and their family members hundreds of thousands of dollars in time lost from work over the course of the injury. Due to the fact that such injuries bring about extensive losses for the injured, it’s absolutely vital that injury victims do not try to settle their case on their own with the insurance company.

It’s important to note that the insurance company is only interested in their bottom line, and the way they maintain their profit margin is by paying out as little as possible in personal injury claims. Don’t be fooled into believing that your claim isn’t worth much, because this is exactly what the insurance company wants you to be fooled into believing. When a plaintiff accepts a low-ball settlement, the money eventually runs out and they are stuck with having to come up with the difference, which can amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars if not more over time.

We know what to expect from insurance companies when filing a claim, and won’t be deterred by any efforts to dispute the merits of your case. Contact a  catastrophic injury attorney from our firm for sound legal advice regarding your injuries and how to file a compensation claim.

Car Accident Injury Cases: Catastrophic Injuries

When a serious car accident occurs, severe injuries including spinal cord injuries and brain injuries are far too common. These injuries are often termed “catastrophic” as the victim will never again have the quality of life that they enjoyed prior to the accident. When another party is responsible for the accident, it is necessary to contact a  car accident lawyer to assist in seeking compensation in these very serious injury cases. At our firm, our car accident lawyer will assist you in managing the lawsuit or claim against the responsible party’s insurance company. If criminal negligence was involved, it may be possible to seek punitive damages beyond medical costs, future medical and nursing care, loss of income, future financial losses and pain and suffering, among others.

Brain & Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

The outcome of a legal action against the liable party is critical to the future and health of the victim. In very serious brain injury cases, the innocent victim can suffer severe damage and in the worst cases can lose all ability to function in life, and will require nursing care for the rest of their lives. We all hope for miracles in such cases, and as newer treatments are discovered, having the financial ability to access these treatments is only fair when another individual caused the injury.

The same is true of serious spinal injuries, as the victim can suffer terrible loss of ability, either paraplegia or quadriplegia. These conditions change the individual’s life forever. They will face many challenges and changes in lifestyle, as well as physical problems that are part of any spinal injury. Our legal team understands fully how important the outcome of the case is to the health and future of the victim and their families, and acts accordingly. We will seek compensation measured against all the damages suffered in the case, both economic and non-economic. The emotional toll is severe in any such case, and the settlement, verdict or judgment will likely be extremely high. We will fight to ensure that our client gets the compensation that truly reflects the serious nature of these injuries. Contact a car accident attorney if you or a loved one has suffered brain or spinal cord injury through the negligent driving of another person.

Drunk Driving – A Serious Crime

The numbers on drunken driving accidents are sobering. According to Mothers against Drunk Driving, every 45 minutes an innocent person is killed by a drunk driver. Four people under the age of 21 die every day in drunk driver accidents. Nearly 5 million Americans go to the emergency room each year for treatment related to alcohol impairment with a cost of over $230 million. Recent statistics by the National Traffic Safety Administration report that over 500 people were killed in the state by drunk drivers, with many others left with long term injuries that will change their lives forever.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, every day nearly 30 people in the United States die in an auto accident that involves an alcohol-impaired driver. This figure amounts to one death every 48 minutes, with the annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totaling over $51 billion dollars. While the total number of drunk driving accidents has actually decreased in recent years thanks to public awareness campaigns about the problem, and criminal and administrative consequences (e.g. driver’s license suspensions), drunk driving still remains a major public health concern.

In one year 10,228 people were killed in alcohol-related car accidents, representing one-third or 31% of all traffic-related fatalities in the U.S. (NHTSA)

In one year, of the 1,210 traffic-related deaths in children ages 0 to 14 years, 211 (17%) involved an alcohol-impaired driver. (NHTSA)

In one year, more than 1.4 million drivers were arrested for driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs; that represents just 1 percent of the 112 million American adults who claim to have driven while under the influence of alcohol every year. (Reported by the CDC)

The courts hand out tough sentences on drunk drivers. Unfortunately, these tough penalties have not deterred those who have made the decision to drive under the influence of alcohol from seriously injuring or killing innocent drivers, pedestrians or passengers. If you or a loved one has been injured in a drunk driving accident, contact a  car accident lawyer from our law firm. We will aggressively pursue all possible legal remedies on your behalf against those who have been negligent and caused harm to you or caused the wrongful death a loved one.

Strong Trial Representation in Drunk Driving Accidents

In many instances, in drunken driving lawsuits in which a person has been injured or disabled or a loved one has been killed, the settlement is not commensurate with the injuries received. Our firm will fight for the full compensation that you are entitled to for your injuries.

In  you have the right to seek punitive damages over and above the damages that compensated you for the harm you were caused by the drunk driver. We will pursue these punitive damages in your case. We will also do a complete investigation of your case and if there are other parties that are legally liable for your injuries, such as a bar or restaurant that sold the alcohol to the drunk driver who injured you, we will go after them as well.
