Catastrophic injuries give rise to legal and practical complexities not usually encountered in typical accident claims. Victims are often subjected to wide-sweeping changes in lifestyle. Their future expectations and aspirations may be significantly altered.
These consequences require positive action to both minimize the impact and to prepare the injured client for a new future. Extraordinary rehabilitation, non-local medical expertise and comprehensive therapeutic intervention are often called for to maximize the client's potential for recovery.
Vocational retraining is often appropriate where the employment for which one was qualified is no longer viable. Future costs may be significant in terms of continuing medical care, homecare, supervision or regular maintenance.
Our goal is to guide a client through appropriate care and rehabilitation while obtaining funding for requisite needs and wage replacement (where appropriate), and to obtain a settlement or judgment which will provide for these needs on a long term basis, and often for the rest of the client's life.
From a legal perspective, the costs are high as are the risks, but what is at stake is often the lifestyle and future of the client. Our firm has the experience and resources to manage these claims to the maximum benefit of our clients.
