St. Cloud, FL Personal Injury Attorneys

When someone suffers a serious injury, the impact can be devastating. In addition to the physical effects, such as pain and loss of mobility, an injury victim may suffer emotional distress. They may also suffer significant financial losses. To address these issues, victims can take action against the people or parties who were responsible, and they can do so with the help of a skilled personal injury lawyer.

At The Doan Law Firm, we provide trusted, experienced legal guidance to injury victims and their families, helping them recover the financial support they need to move forward. We can handle the legal concerns involved in these cases, allowing victims to focus on healing.

Injuries to Children and Legal Options for Families

Children are particularly vulnerable to injuries, because they rely on adults and institutions to keep them safe. Unfortunately, preventable accidents involving children can occur in schools, daycare facilities, playgrounds, swimming pools, and even in private homes. When a child is injured due to someone else's failure to provide proper supervision or protect their safety, parents may take legal action to address the harm that was done and ensure that they will have the resources to provide for the child's needs in the future.

Common causes of child injuries include:

• Negligent supervision at schools or daycare centers
• Unsafe playground or sports equipment
• Drowning in improperly secured swimming pools
• Dog bites or animal attacks
• Traffic accidents involving child passengers or pedestrians

At The Doan Law Firm, we help parents understand how they can take action to hold negligent parties accountable for injuries their children have suffered. We work to recover compensation for children's medical expenses, ongoing rehabilitation or therapy, psychological counseling to address emotional trauma, long-term disability or developmental setbacks, and other forms of pain and suffering experienced by the child or other family members. With our help, families can receive compensation that will provide for a child's long-term needs, including education, treatment, and support.

Catastrophic Injuries and Their Impact

A catastrophic injury is one that results in permanent disability, disfigurement, a significant loss of bodily function, or a long recovery that will significantly disrupt a person's life. These injuries often require extensive medical care, as well as major lifestyle adjustments for both the victim and their family. Injuries in this category may include:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): A strong blow to the head resulting in a concussion, skull fracture, or brain damage may affect a person's memory, speech, physical coordination, and cognitive function.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: An accident that led to fractured vertebrae in the spine or damage to the nerves in the spinal cord may result in partial or total paralysis.

• Amputations: The loss of a limb can permanently affect a person's mobility and independence, and prosthetics, physical therapy, and other forms of care may be needed.
• Severe Burns: Extreme heat or exposure to certain chemicals may lead to burn injuries that can result in disfigurement, nerve damage, and emotional trauma, with ongoing treatment including skin grafts and reconstructive surgeries.
• Multiple Fractures or Crush Injuries: Broken bones can result in chronic pain, reduced function, and a lengthy recovery process.

Wrongful Death Claims in St. Cloud

When a person is fatally injured because of someone's negligence, their family may struggle to deal with the aftermath. Family members are likely to be left with profound grief and a deep sense of injustice. In these situations, a wrongful death claim may provide a path forward for a family, ensuring that someone will be held accountable for a person's death and that compensation will address the financial and personal effects of their loss.

Wrongful deaths may occur in situations such as:

• Fatal motor vehicle accidents, including those involving commercial trucks or drunk drivers
