An insightful personal injury lawyer understands that a serious accidental injury is a traumatic, perhaps overwhelming, event in the life of the injured person. You and your family may be experiencing extraordinary challenges after a serious accident:
- A motor vehicle accident: a car crash, a truck accident, a motorcycle wreck, a bicycle accident or a public transit accident
- A slip-and-fall accident or other type of injury on public or private property
- An accident caused by a defective product
Besides concerns about the health and well-being of the injured person, you may undergo significant hardships after a serious or catastrophic injury (such as a traumatic brain injury, a spinal cord injury or amputation):
- Medical bills which may include expensive emergency care, perhaps surgery, recovery, follow-up care, therapy and rehabilitation
- Necessary durable medical equipment, transportation and housing adaptations, in many cases: perhaps a wheelchair, a lift, a hospital bed for your home, a van equipped to transport a wheelchair and housing changes such as a necessary move or remodeling to your existing home
- Transportation, parking and perhaps lodging expenses for the family during hospitalization and treatment
- Time off work, resulting in lost wages — even in the case of a minor injury such as whiplash
- Pain and suffering
If your family member was killed in a serious accident, your expenses and losses may include emergency medical bills, funeral and burial costs, loss of the deceased person's income and contributions to family life, and emotional losses. If another person or entity committed negligence that caused the accidental injury or death, you may have a viable personal injury or wrongful death claim.
