Catastrophic Injuries Caused by Negligence

Some accidents may cause severe trauma that could result in long-term or permanent disabilities. These injuries may include spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, severe burns, or multiple fractures. Ongoing medical treatment may be needed to address the effects of catastrophic injuries, and people who have experienced disabilities may need to make significant changes to their everyday lives.

Severe injuries can occur in situations such as:

• Motor Vehicle Collisions: High-speed car accidents on roads such as State Road 429 or U.S. Highway 441 can cause devastating harm, particularly in cases involving head-on collisions and other high-impact crashes. Truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents can also lead to devastating injuries.
• Slip and Fall Accidents: Falls due to hazards at retail stores, amusement parks, public spaces, or private properties can lead to serious injuries, especially for older adults. These falls may occur because of wet or slick surfaces, uneven sidewalks, damaged floors, or broken or missing railings on stairways or upper levels.
• Swimming Pool Accidents: A pool that is not properly maintained or secured can lead to drowning accidents or other serious injuries. A property owner may be liable for injuries caused by issues such as slippery surfaces, defective equipment, or lack of supervision at a public pool.

After a catastrophic injury has occurred, our attorneys can identify the responsible parties and work with the victim to recover compensation for their economic and non-economic damages. By obtaining compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and more, we help our clients move forward and avoid ongoing financial problems.

Addressing Personal Injuries Involving Children

When a child is injured because of negligence, the stakes can be especially high for families. Children may be more vulnerable to harm in situations such as school bus accidents, defective playground equipment, dog attacks, or inadequate supervision at daycare centers. Because children are still developing, injuries can have long-term consequences that may affect their growth, education, and overall quality of life.

Our lawyers work with parents to file claims related to child injuries. We provide effective guidance for families throughout the legal process, working to ensure that the child's future needs will be accounted for, including anticipated medical costs, rehabilitation, psychological care, and educational support.

Legal Options for Families Affected by Wrongful Death

When someone's negligence has led to the death of a loved one, this can have an emotional and financial impact on their surviving family members. In these cases, compensation may be available through a wrongful death claim. Our attorneys can help families obtain financial relief for the losses they have experienced due to a loved one's death, including:

• Medical and funeral expenses
• Loss of the deceased's income and benefits
• Loss of companionship and guidance
• Mental pain and suffering for surviving family members

Typically, the personal representative of the deceased's estate will bring a wrongful death claim on behalf of the estate and the person's surviving family members. These claims can provide compensation to a person's spouse or children, or parents may receive compensation for the death of a child. Since these cases can be deeply personal, our lawyers provide compassionate representation, addressing the legal concerns involved in a case while a family focuses on healing.

Complexities in Proving Liability and Damages

Personal injury and wrongful death cases often hinge on demonstrating that someone owed a duty of care to protect the safety of the victim, and they failed to live up to this responsibility, resulting in injuries and damages. Our experienced attorneys will investigate the circumstances surrounding an accident or injury, collecting relevant evidence to ensure that the liable party will be held responsible for the harm they have caused.

In some situations, multiple parties may share responsibility, or claims may need to be made with insurance companies. Our legal advocates can make sure all legal issues are handled correctly, negotiating settlement agreements that will fully address our clients' needs. If necessary, we will pursue litigation on behalf of our clients, and we will always fight to maximize the amount of compensation a victim will receive.
