Frequently Asked Questions
What is a “catastrophic injury” in a legal case?
It generally refers to a severe injury that causes long-term or permanent impairment and significant future needs—such as brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis, amputation, or severe burns.
What should I do after a serious injury accident?
Get medical treatment, follow doctors’ recommendations, preserve evidence (photos, witness names, incident reports), and keep documentation of expenses and missed work. Avoid recorded statements or signing releases until you understand your options.
Why is early investigation important?
Serious cases may involve surveillance video, maintenance records, incident reports, and witness statements that can be lost over time. Prompt action helps preserve evidence and strengthens the claim.
Do you take cases against large corporations and hospitals?
Yes. When negligence causes catastrophic harm, we are prepared to pursue claims against responsible parties, including well-funded defendants, and to work with the experts needed to prove the case.
How do attorney fees work?
Fee arrangements depend on the case type. We offer a free consultation to evaluate your situation and explain next steps.
