CATASTROPHIC
INJURY
Injuries which maim, disfigure, paralyze,
or kill the victim are devastating and leave the injured person or their estate to
find a way to recover money damages for the loss
which has occurred in order to either provide for that person for the future, or to
compensate their survivors for that person’s loss. Too many times we hear of
negligent people causing terrible accidents which are a result of not paying attention
to whatever it is they are doing. Regardless of how a person was injured, whether it
be by car accident, medical malpractice, pharmacy malpractice, nursing home negligence,
or construction accident, or innumerable other ways, the injuries can be catastrophic
and devastating to the injured party and that person’s family. Who cares for
a person when there is no family, or there is no money to hire appropriate healthcare
professionals. These are questions that people don’t ask until a catastrophic
injury occurs. At Gottesman and Hollis, P.A., our attorneys prepared to answer your
questions about such all sorts of personal injury cases, some of which have permanent
injuries. We are very aware of the needs of people who might not be able to look after
themselves in the future, and are prepared to fight for the rights of those injured
people.
We visit people in hospitals, in their homes, and in long term care facilities in
order to try to understand what seriously injured people are going through as a result
of traumatic injuries. There are many instances where our clients have made miraculous
recoveries, but there are cases where the catastrophic injuries, despite the best medical
care, will never get better, such as in spinal cord injuries or traumatic burn injuries.
No money will ever be enough to repay a person for the loss of the use of their legs
and arms, the inability to think and make decisions for themselves, or the permanent
and devastating scarring from being engulfed in a shower of corrosive chemicals.
The only right of recovery that injured people or their estates have under the law
is to seek money damages from the person or entity which has caused the harm. The attorneys
at Gottesman and Hollis, P.A. will do their best to obtain a proper and reasonable
settlement or verdict for money damages for those catastrophic injuries as permitted
under the law.
When looking for the attorney to handle your catastrophic injury case,
remember Gottesman and Hollis, P.A. We fight for you!
