Spinal Cord Injuries
Anyone who suffers a spinal cord injury is likely to suffer a degree of paralysis that may continue for the rest of his or her life. If your injury was caused by the negligence of another person, it is important to contact a skilled attorney as soon as possible to recover damages for the significant costs you will face.
It’s important to remember that while spinal cord damage is considered a permanent injury today, treatment options continue to improve. In some cases, victims of spinal cord injury are able to recover a degree of mobility. Medical research may one day find a cure.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
A person can suffer a brain injury in an accident without realizing it. Symptoms may be passed off as temporary effects that will soon pass. Unfortunately, in some cases the damage can be permanent and lead to significant challenges in a person’s life. If you or a loved one has suffered a brain or head injury due to the negligence of another person, it is important to contact a skilled attorney as soon as possible. Symptoms of traumatic brain injury or concussion can include:
- Short-term memory problems
- Difficulty concentrating
- Difficulty following directions
- Brief loss of consciousness for a few seconds to a few minutes
- Confusion or disorientation without losing consciousness
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Blurred vision
- Ringing in the ears
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Irritability or other mood changes
- Sleeping more than usual (or difficulty sleeping)
If you or your loved one is experiencing any of these symptoms following an accident, it’s important to see a doctor who is capable to diagnosing and treating a traumatic brain injury. It’s also important to see a skilled attorney who can help you secure the compensation you need and deserve for damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Burn Injuries
A serious burn can result in severe physical damage to skin, tissue, muscles, and internal organs. The pain and trauma of recovery can result in psychological scars that can last a lifetime. Initial treatment, physical and occupational therapy, surgeries, and emotional counseling can be financially devastating to the burn victim, as well as the entire family. Call us to discuss any type of burn injury claim, including injuries resulting from:
- Apartment, hotel and motel fire or smoke inhalation
- Workplace fires, explosions and electrical shock injuries
- Toxic chemical burns
- Car fire resulting from an auto accident
- Home appliance fires
- Gas grill explosions, furnace and water heater defects
- Burns to children caused by unsafe clothing and children’s products
Fracture Injuries
A compound fracture or crush injury to a hand or foot can result in a lifelong disability. If the fracture is serious, the bone may never heal, and the ligaments and tissues surrounding it will suffer permanent damage. On top of the pain, people suffering serious bone fractures are often left with diminished use of the affected limb.

We partner with medical experts and life care professionals to determine the extent of financial damages over a lifetime of care.
