Serious & Catastrophic Injury

Traumatic Head Injuries - Brain Injury - Spinal Cord Injury

With a focus on personal injury, our law firm accepts cases involving serious and catastrophic injuries. We have been doing this work since 1963. Over the ensuing years we have accumulated a great deal of collective knowledge related to the way injury case are handled in the courtrooms of Florida. If you or a family member has suffered a life altering injury such as a brain injury, contact the Florida lawyers who have the experience and knowledge to help.

To be successful with a personal injury claim involving severe brain injury, the claimant must be able to prove that the accident causing the injury was the result of negligence or misconduct. Our lawyers have many years of experience identifying the negligent parties in an accident that results in serious injuries. Our law firm benefits from resources such as our in-house investigators and our nationally known network of accident reconstruction experts as well as medical and economic experts. These resources, combined with our many years of experience and our willingness to go to trial, allow us to build strong and compelling cases for clients.

Our experience includes handling all types of accidents and events that lead to serious and catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injury and amputation, including:

• Car crashes
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Construction site accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Drunk driver accidents

At our initial consultation, we let clients know what to expect during the process. We advise them about the lien that will be filed against them by local hospitals. We discuss the lien, its implication to the client and the case and a strategy for dealing with such overwhelming debts. We review their insurance coverage, making sure they understand how to use their auto insurance to pay their initial medical bills. We talk about the fastest way to get their car repaired, using their own insurance coverage, if such is available. We will advise you that your insurance company can reserve funds to cover your lost wages if you cannot work because of your injury. Our knowledge of details such as these can make the difference between feeling anxious about your personal injuries and mounting bills and having confidence that your attorney is doing everything possible on your behalf.

Our clients come to us with a wide range of severe injuries, including brain injury, spinal cord injury, and amputation. All of these result in major life changes. In addition to working hard to obtain payment for our clients, we make sure that clients are linked to the resources they need to cope with their altered situations.
