Catastrophic Injury Attorney in Phoenix
Some Injuries Last Longer Than Others - Make Sure You're Fairly Compensated
Accidents can lead to all types of injuries, but the severity and the impact of those injuries can vary. Minor injuries will eventually heal, leaving little to no trace that they ever happened - but serious injuries can effect a person for years, or even for the rest of their life.
Examples of catastrophic injuries include brain injuries, spine injuries, disfiguring injuries, and amputations, just to name a few. These types of injuries don't heal and disappear - they result in lasting pain and suffering and can incur astronomical medical bills for surgeries and ongoing treatments.
Yours isn't an average injury. Call a Phoenix catastrophic injury attorney today at (623) 207-1555! We can help you fight for the extensive compensation that you deserve.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
One of the most common types of catastrophic, life-altering injuries a person can experience in an accident is a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Severe Head Trauma Can Lead to:
- Severe headaches
- Seizures
- Memory problems
- Speech problems
- Vision problems
- Emotional disorders
- Reduced mental capacity
- Coma / vegetative state
In cases of traumatic brain injury, these effects can last for weeks, months, years, or even for the rest of the victim's life. This level of pain and suffering deserves compensation to match.
Spinal Cord Injuries / Paralysis
Another example of catastrophic personal injury is spinal cord damage, often leading to paralysis. When the spinal cord is bruised or severed in an accident, a person can lose some or all of their feeling / mobility below the area of injury. The results may include temporary or permanent paralysis of the person's legs or entire body.
Paraplegia
Total or partial paralysis below the chest and downward is known as paraplegia. This type of paralysis only affects the legs, meaning that the person still has use of his or her arms. Paraplegics require a wheelchair to get around. In cases of partial paralysis, some sense of feeling and / or mobility still remains. In cases of total paralysis, the person cannot feel or use his or her legs at all.
Quadriplegia / Tetraplegia
Total or partial paralysis from the neck down is known as quadriplegia (or tetraplegia). Quadriplegia affects the arms as well as the legs, meaning that quadriplegics often require the assistance of another person to get around and to perform basic daily tasks.
