Other Practice Areas - Serious Personal Injuries
SeriousPersonal Injury Attorney- Rockville, Maryland
Catastrophic injuries change lives. Victims and their families often must deal with permanent disabilities that lead to significant medical and legal needs. Life expectancies (the average remaining years of life for an individual) for a person with a brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis or severe burns are below those of individuals with no injury. The causes of serious personal injury are widely varied and are frequently the result of another’s negligence—car accidents, medical malpractice, defective products and gun shot wounds are just a few. Lawsuits for most serious personal injury accidents are brought under negligence, strict liability, and third party liability laws. (Even uninvolved third parties can contribute to an injury; for example, the company that made a faulty seatbelt or tire.)
Although the thought of filing a lawsuit may be overwhelming, the financial recovery can make a significant difference in quality of life for both the victim and family. Appropriate treatment of catastrophic injuries frequently involves diagnostic testing, drugs, surgery, and rehabilitation. Rehabilitation, a critical aspect of optimal recovery, is prohibitively expensive. For catastrophic injuries, an extensive team of caregivers may be necessary. It is not uncommon for an injured individual to see a neurologist, neurosurgeon, physiatrist, neuropsychiatrist, vocational expert, life-care planner, neuro-psychologist, and physical, occupational and speech therapists. In most cases, the lives of the injured individual’s family are completely disrupted due to the need to secure proper medical care.
