What Happened?
Types of Injuries
BROKEN BONES
Whether it’s a broken leg, broken arm, or any other broken bone there is a significant impact on your daily life. What once was easy to accomplish suddenly becomes a mountain to climb. Healing time can take months and we understand that you may not even be able to work during that time.
SPINAL CORD INJURIES
Spinal cord injuries are common in car crashes. These can range from minor pain in your back to requiring multiple surgeries or even permanent impairment. The spine is a delicate structure of the body that is essential to your daily function. When that is impacted there are serious ramifications for you and for your family.
BRAIN INJURY
When someone experiences a brain injury it can alter their very personality and being. Brain injuries might only be noticed because a person “seems off” or is “acting a little funny” but these internal injuries can really impact one’s ability to keep employment, enjoy family time, and accomplish personal goals.
SURGERIES
When a person undergoes surgery, it requires a great deal of recovery effort including physical therapy and self-discipline. Surgeries are expensive and painful. If you have been injured and are being told that you need surgery then you need to contact a personal injury attorney today.
DEATH
When the negligence of another results in someone dying there is no easy way to deal with the loss experienced by those family members and friends. There are tangible and intangible affects that lose out on the companionship and affection of a loved one.
EMOTIONAL TRAUMA
Not all injuries are visible. Often the worst types of injuries are the ones inflicted in secret. Emotional trauma has long term effects and can be the most difficult thing that a person experiences. If you have been the victim of some form of abuse or sexual misconduct you need an experienced team of attorneys to fight for you.
PERMANENT IMPAIRMENT
Mobility is essential to daily life. When the negligence of another leaves someone unable to walk or restricts the use of body function it can be extremely difficult. Medical care can only take a person so far when the injuries are permanent in nature. Often these people are left coping with life-altering injuries.
DISFIGUREMENT
Everyone is self-conscious about their looks to some degree. When someone has permanent scarring to their face or body it can be difficult to deal with emotionally. Often these people become less social and seek to hide their scaring because of embarrassment or fear of questioning.
