Catastrophic Injuries and Their Effects

Some injuries may heal relatively quickly, although even seemingly minor injuries can lead to significant financial losses and other difficulties. However, catastrophic injuries can affect the lives of victims and their families for years, and some injuries may lead to permanent disabilities and other limitations. Our attorneys can help clients determine how to address injuries such as:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries: When a person experiences damage to the brain in an accident, this can lead to memory loss, personality changes, trouble concentrating, issues affecting speech, difficulty managing complex tasks, physical symptoms like pain and loss of coordination, seizures, intellectual disabilities, and other long-term issues that can affect their overall quality of life.
• Amputations: The loss of a limb or other body part can result in permanent impairments. A person may need to use prosthetic devices, and extensive therapy may be needed as they adjust to an amputation. Modifications may also need to be made to a person's home and other parts of their life.
• Severe Burns: Deep burns that occur because of fires or toxic chemical exposure can damage the skin and the tissues below. Skin grafts or other surgeries may be needed, and scars can be painful while resulting in disfigurement.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: An impact to the back or upper body can cause damage to the nerves in the spinal cord. Depending on where the damage occurs, a person may experience paralysis that could affect some or all of their body.
• Loss of Vision or Hearing: Damage to the eyes, ears, or brain can lead to ongoing impairments that may limit a person's ability to work and affect their daily life.

Medical Malpractice

When doctors, nurses, or other medical providers fail to follow the right procedures or make preventable mistakes while providing medical care, patients may be seriously injured. Medical malpractice may involve a misdiagnosis of cancer or another serious condition, a surgical error, a birth injury, or another situation where a medical professional's negligence led to an injury. Our team can gather medical records related to malpractice and make sure the right steps are taken to help clients obtain compensation for the harm they have suffered because of medical negligence.

Nursing Home Negligence

When people get older, they may need to stay in nursing homes to ensure that their daily needs will be met, that they will receive the proper medical care, and that they will be able to maintain comfort and dignity. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse and neglect can affect residents of these facilities. Issues such as bedsores, falls, dehydration, malnutrition, medication errors, lack of medical care, physical abuse, or sexual abuse can cause people to suffer serious harm. Our lawyers work with families to address nursing home negligence and obtain compensation for people who have suffered injuries because of neglect or abuse.
