Personal Injury: Catastrophic Injury / Wrongful Death

Strong Representation Working For You - So You Can Focus On The Healing Process

When tragedy strikes, it can be difficult trying to pick up the pieces and move on with your life. You cannot do it alone, and if someone you love has suffered a catastrophic injury or has died as the result of the negligence or fault of another, we would like to help.

At the Law Office of Brian T. Stern, a large part of our practice is focused on personal injury law, including catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. Where catastrophic injury or death is involved, we know the consequences are especially serious for the families involved and we take special care to address the unique issues associated with these types of cases to ensure a fair and just result for our clients.

A catastrophic injury is an injury with devastating and permanent effects, such as brain or spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injury or brain damage, closed head injuries, post-concussive syndrome, back and neck injuries, broken or fractured neck, paralysis, paraplegia, quadriplegia, amputation, or severe burns. With these types of injuries, significant recovery is not expected, and the injured person may require multiple surgeries, long hospital or rehabilitative stays, and if lucky enough to return home, full-time nursing or assistive care. Obviously, the medical expenses will be extremely high and the injured person will no longer be able to take care of his or her family, physically or financially. Wrongful death is a cause of action brought by the survivors on behalf of themselves and an individual who died as a result of another's fault. The survivors may be able to recover for the loss of companionship of their parent, child, sibling, or spouse, and may also receive compensation for the loss of that person's financial support, such as where a deceased father will no longer be able to provide for his young children or save for their education.

We have handled these types of cases before, we know what to look for, what special facts or circumstances are important, and how to provide quality, reliable representation for our clients. Let us worry about your future, so you can focus on getting your life back together.
