We represent people who have been seriously injured by the wrongdoing of others. These injuries are sometimes called personal injuries, catastrophic personal injuries or life-altering injuries.
Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries
You or a family member may have been severely injured:
- in an automobile accident
- in an accident on public transportation
- in a school yard or park
- at an amusement park
- because of the actions (or non-actions), of HMOs, drug companies, health facilities, car companies or product manufacturers.
Reasons To File A Case
Following a catastrophic injury, victims may face new financial hardships, may no longer be able to work to support themselves or their families or to pay for mounting medical bills or afford the extra costs of hiring help to do what they can no longer do around the house.
Payment for your or a family member’s injuries or for the wrongful death of a loved one is often critical to your and your family’s future yet, in most cases, you will face an army of lawyers.
Insurance companies and corporations devote entire departments and great resources to fighting you in order to avoid providing you the money you desperately need. Their whole focus is to avoid claims or to settle with you for the least amount of money possible.
You need the experienced catastrophic injury attorneys at our Long Island based law firm on your side to fight for you.
Your settling for less could mean the difference between years of debt to pay off medical expenses, the inability to get necessary therapies and medical care and increased health insurance costs now that you have had a life-changing injury such as a spinal cord injury, brain injury, birth trauma, amputation or the need for a life-long treatment such as dialyses.
