Catastrophic Injury Lawyer
Each year, thousands of people suffer significant personal injuries through no fault of their own. While the effects of a severe injury can be devastating for an individual and their families—through overwhelming medical bills, a loss of the ability to work, pain and suffering, or the the death of a loved one—many people are unaware of the options available to them when they have been hurt due to the fault of another person or company.
Traumatic Brain Injury Causes Over 500,000 Hospitalizations a Year
Approximately two million people sustain traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in the U.S. each year. While most of these injuries are relatively minor, more than 500,000 head injuries require hospitalization annually. TBIs can be severe, life-threatening, or even fatal. Some head injuries result in irreversible or prolonged brain damage that can occur due to bleeding inside the brain or high shearing forces that damage the brain’s nerve cells. Those who have sustained a serious or life-threatening brain injury due to the fault of another should consider seeking legal counsel from a brain injury lawyer to learn more about pursuing a claim and recovering compensation for their suffering.
A Spinal Cord Injury Can be Devastating
Half of the spinal cord injuries that occur in the U.S. each year are caused by motor vehicle accidents. Injury to the spinal cord at the neck level may paralyze a person’s legs, arms or trunk and impair his or her breathing. Injury to the lower portion of the spinal cord may cause weakness as well as a loss of feeling or movement in only the lower parts of the body including the legs. A spinal cord injury may cause other effects aside from the obvious physical impairments. For many, adapting to life with a disability, often in a wheelchair, is not easy. Victims may experience pain and suffering and will likely have concerns about how the injury will affect their personal relationships, financial situations and lifestyles.
