Serious Injury Cases
Many of our clients suffer from injuries that are permanent and life-altering. We represent people who have suffered from brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputations, or burns. Many of our clients were injured on the road. We handle catastrophic injury cases that involve:
We also handle serious injury cases that involve workers' compensation and, occasionally, premises liability. Most slip and fall cases involve minor injuries, but not all of them. One of our wrongful death cases involved a man who was assaulted on a property that should have had better on site security.
Collecting on a Serious Injury
A seriously injured person may be entitled to damages for:
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of income
- Loss of services or ability
- Vocational retraining
- Long term care
- Medical expenses
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disfigurement
The amount needed can be substantial. In order to provide clients with compensation, we thoroughly examine the insurance policies of all involved. Because of our experience, we are able to uncover many possible sources of coverage. In almost all personal injury cases, coverage comes from separate policies for the owner and operators. It can also come from the client's own policy, via PIP coverage, underinsured coverage, disability insurance, or long term care insurance. If applicable, we try to tap the insurance policies of employers, drivers, and vehicle owners.
In addition, we offer settlement services to our clients. Attorney Bennett Schiller has experience conducting mediations. We also work with companies to establish a structured settlement plan or special needs trust to protect our clients' assets while we arrange to pay for their care.
