Catastrophic Injury and Serious Harm

Catastrophic injuries are permanent injuries that prevent the use of essential body functions.

Catastrophic injury can occur in any setting – a motor vehicle accident, a premises accident, a sporting event, a violent attach, a product injury, gun injury, a product injury, by medical malfeasance, and through nursing home neglect.

Compensation for catastrophic industry cases requires extensive expert and foundational preparation and execution.  This is why it is important to hire an experience trial attorney with the resources to thoroughly present your injury claims.

Serious Harm

Every person injured by negligence, recklessness or by a defective product has a serious injury – their lives have been impacted, they have lost time from work and have been prevented from carrying out their lives.

These cases are presented to convey objective evidence of that harm and range from the obvious serious injury – such as amputations, broken bones, and injuries requiring surgery – to less obvious serious injuries – the “so called” soft tissue injuries which have serious consequences, such as spinal or disc injuries, rotator cuff injuries, nerve damage, radiculopathy, and syndromes like reflexive sympathetic dystytry (RSD) or compartment syndrome.
