Serious Injuries & Death Claims

Injuries can take many forms, but one thing is for sure, they usually wreak havoc in an individual’s life. In some instances, these injuries may be termed, “catastrophic” in nature. Catastrophic injuries usually require significant medical intervention and rehabilitation, and frequently require life-long care. The economic impact to individuals suffering these injuries can be equally as catastrophic, since insurance policies commonly do not cover the expenses necessary for specialized or permanent care. Our attorneys are adroit advocates representing the legal interests of catastrophic injury victims.

Catastrophic Injuries

Some forms of catastrophic injuries are:

• Brain & Spinal Cord Injuries
• Burns
• Amputations
• Disfigurement
• Paralysis

Truck/Auto Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents resulting from driver negligence is the most frequent case of brain and spinal cord injuries. Brain and spinal cord injuries usually produce irreversible damage, including paraplegia and quadriplegia forms of paralysis.

Some motor vehicle accidents in Pittsburgh are the result of the negligence of the driver; however, it may later be determined that the accident causing the injury was the result of a defective product, either the vehicle, or a component part, in which case there are product liability implications that may result in a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the vehicle. Only an experienced injury claims attorney can tell you the type of injury claim available to you.

Serious Burns and Disfigurement

Many cases involving serious burns can occur due to motor vehicle accidents, or in structural fires that occur both in the home and in the workplace. Burns frequently involve an extended stay in a hospital’s burn unit; and can require extensive skin-grafting, surgery, and rehabilitation. Additionally, a burn victim often incurs disfiguring scars due to the burn injury.
