Catastrophic Injuries:
Traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injuries can be classified under catastrophic injuries and create obstacles and problems for individuals and families in addition to the pain and suffering associated with the injuries.
An experienced attorney can prepare and account for presenting different kinds of loss associated with catastrophic injuries. These losses include medical bills, loss of income, nursing care, rehabilitation, therapy and other expenses which may arise as a result of catastrophic injuries.
At Mark Schiffrin P.A., we have handled a broad range of catastrophic injury cases which include wrongful death, brain injury and spinal cord injury. Catastrophic cases are complex and involve delicate handling in the area of personal injury associated with liability and damages.
Wrongful Death:
Wrongful death cases require a lot of attention and handling by an experienced attorney. Sudden loss of someone dear to you can be a traumatic and stressful experience. Mental anguish and heartache associated with these incidents is beyond imagination.
A family which experiences this kind of tragedy requires a law firm that not only has the expertise and knowledge but which can also be sensitive and empathetic towards the family who has lost a loved one.
The heartache and personal sense of loss in a wrongful death case may be related to certain financial losses in addition to pain and suffering. The loss in economic terms must be analyzed and also future lost wages which would have been provided by the deceased. Often overlooked is the support and services provided by a spouse which has economic value. Replacement of things such as household repairs, child services such as tutoring and transportation, and household chores needs to be done when a spouse is lost in a wrongful death incident and the replacement of these services costs money. If the spouse was the sole earner, there will also be a claim for future loss of income.
Traumatic Brain Injuries:
Brain injuries are often of a serious nature as it is the primary organ of the body and most bodily functions are governed by it. Traumatic injuries take place when an external force hits the brain and causes serious damage. These types of injuries are complicated and have a wide variety of symptoms, treatments and diagnosis.
Each traumatic brain injury may have serious and catastrophic consequences. It is different in nature from all other injuries as it affects one’s cognitive ability and thinking.
A traumatic brain injury can classified as mild, moderate or severe. If the injury is mild, the chances of a lasting and permanent effect are possible. If it is severe, there is a complete possibility that the person is suffering from permanent disability.
The nature and severity of the injury can vary greatly. After the brain injury, it is important that the person be taken in for emergency treatment to prevent further damage and ensure the patient is in a stable condition.
After the patient is stable, he or she is shifted to a rehabilitation unit, where the time and remaining treatment may depend on the severity of the injury. If the brain injury is very severe, to the extent that the individual cannot normally function, he or she may have to spend years or even the rest of his or her life in a treatment facility. If the injury is mild in nature, the individual may need to spend a few days in a rehabilitation centre. The duration of the coma, age and post-traumatic stress or memory loss are all factors which would be taken into account while determining prognosis.
A traumatic brain injury can be the outcome of any type of impact to the head/brain. We, at Mark Schiffrin P.A. handle all types of traumatic brain injuries and if you know someone who has sustained a traumatic brain injury, please contact us to receive a free initial consultation. Even an injury which is not so serious in nature can have significant consequences, and those that have experienced this type of injury need an excellent attorney by their side.
