Catastrophic Injuries
Personal injury claims involving catastrophic injuries typically involve complex medical evidence, complicated issues of causation, and challenging damages calculations. Working with an experienced catastrophic injury lawyer will help you insure that you have the financial resources necessary to meet a lifetime of medical needs.
We have experience representing clients suffering from a variety of catastrophic injuries, including those involving:
Neck and Spinal Cord Injuries
Neck and Spinal cord injuries devastate lives. Victims and their families often must deal with permanent disabilities that lead to significant medical and legal needs. The causes of these neck and spinal cord injuries are widely varied and are frequently the result of another's negligence—car accidents, slip and falls, product liability, and group recreational activities are just a few. Lawsuits for most spinal cord injury claims are brought under negligence, strict liability, and third party liability laws. (Even uninvolved third parties can contribute to an injury; for example, the company that made a faulty seatbelt or tire.)
If you or a loved one has experienced neck or spinal cord, or nerve damage as the result of an accident or another's negligence, you should contact a qualified spinal cord injury lawyer as soon as possible, and schedule a free, confidential consultation.
Brain Injuries
Brain injury can cause physical, cognitive, social, and vocational changes. Recovery is often a lifelong process of adjustments and accommodations for the injured individual and his or her family. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke defines a traumatic brain injury as an injury that occurs when a sudden physical assault on the head causes damage to the brain. Traumatic brain injuries can be caused by a variety of occurrences, including those involving trains, cars, trucks, and motorcycles. These accidents additionally may cause spinal cord injuries. In addition, deprivation of oxygen at any time during the labor or delivery process can cause brain injury and may result in life-long disabilities.
Appropriate treatment of a brain injury can involve diagnostic testing, drugs, surgery, and rehabilitation. Rehabilitation, a critical aspect of optimal recovery, is prohibitively expensive. For catastrophic brain injuries, an extensive team of caregivers may be necessary. It is not uncommon for an injured individual to see a neurologist, neurosurgeon, physiatrist, vocational expert, life-care planner, and physical, occupational, and speech therapists. In most cases, the lives of the injured individual's family are completely disrupted as they focus their energies on securing proper medical care. Contact an experienced Philadelphia brain injury lawyer and schedule a free, confidential consultation to help you secure the resources necessary to meet the astronomical expenses of treatment.
Amputations
Amputation is defined as the severing of a body part. Loss of a limb frequently results in significant blood loss, shock, infection, and even death. Amputations usually occur in the course of a traumatic injury:
Some amputations, however, are the result of non-traumatic circumstances, such as medical negligence, or the failure to the treat bed sores of a nursing home resident or other nursing home neglect. An amputation injury often causes a severe grief reaction in the victim and frequently results in depression. Our mission to help you secure the financial compensation you need to help you address the physical and mental consequences of such a devastating injury. To schedule a free, confidential consultation, contact our Philadelphia amputation injury attorney today to discuss your claim.
Severe Burns
The monetary, mental, and physical costs of recovering from a burn injury are staggering. A burn injury can require months, sometimes years, of hospitalization, doctors' visits, physical therapy, reconstructive surgery, and often even require extensive counseling to overcome the mental trauma sustained from suffering a burn injury.
Burn injuries are the second leading cause of accidental death behind automobile accidents. Burns are frequently the direct result of the negligence of another person or company and can result from on-the-job injuries, industrial accidents or construction accidents, defective products, or electrocution, and a variety of other tragic circumstances. The source and cause of the fire or accident that caused the burn are crucial determinations that form the basis of a personal injury burn case. If you feel that you or a loved one has suffered a burn injury as the result of someone's negligence, you may have grounds to bring a personal injury claim.
