Catastrophic & Injuries Wrongful Death

An accident that involves a catastrophic injury is traumatic, particularly if it was caused by the negligence of another person or entity.

Both mentally or physically, your life is interrupted after an accident as you undergo excessive medical, surgical, and rehabilitative procedures. Even if you expect to recover most of your capabilities in time, you may quickly be overwhelmed by bills at a time when you can’t work. You may become increasingly depressed and angry as you try to cope with your situation and the annoying calls from creditors.

Serious accidents may change your life or that of a loved one – or, in the worse case – end it prematurely. In that case, you are not only struggling with grief but may also be feeling the effects of the loss of income and support from a partner, parent, or other loved one.
