Catastrophic Injuries
In most cases, a victim who is injured in a car accident is eventually able to return to work and resume the life they enjoyed before the accident. Sometimes, however, the victim’s injuries are so severe that things can never go back to normal. At Mandelbaum Barrett PC, we handle car crash cases involving catastrophic injuries such as severed or amputated limbs, severe brain injuries, and paralysis. If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury, we will work to get you compensation for long-term care, modifications to your home, and much more.
Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks measure up to 70 feet long and can weigh as much as 40 tons when fully loaded. When a large truck is involved in truck accident with a car, it is occupants of the smaller vehicle who are most often injured. At our firm, we work on behalf of truck accident victims to get them full compensation for their injuries. We are not afraid to take on trucking companies and their insurers in pursuit of justice for our clients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Perhaps the most frequently asked question regarding personal injury lawsuits is whether or not a client actually has a valid injury claim. While the answer will vary based on the circumstances of the specific situation, most personal injury claims stem from the wrongdoing or negligence of another. The negligent party could be a person, business, company, or organization. Fortunately, Mandelbaum Barrett PC offers completely cost-free initial assessments. If you are unsure about whether or not you have a valid personal injury claim, schedule a consultation with our experienced team, and we will discuss your options with you.
Compensatory damages in a personal injury case can include both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include things such as medical bills, costs related to ongoing physical therapy or other medical treatment, lost wages from missed work, diminished earning capacity, and property damage. Non-economic damages include intangible damages such as mental anguish, pain and suffering, and lost enjoyment of life. In a wrongful death suit, damages can include loss of financial support, loss of parental guidance, funeral and burial expenses, and more. In situations involving an especially grievous act, punitive damages, which are additional funds intended to punish the wrongdoer, may be available.
New York and Connecticut both operate under the rule of comparative negligence or comparative fault. This means that a party who is partially responsible for their own injury can still pursue compensation as long as they are not more at fault than the other party is. In situations involving more than one negligent party, the amount of compensation a claimant is eligible for is reduced by his or her degree of fault.
At Mandelbaum Barrett PC, we offer free consultations so that you can discuss your catastrophic injury case with a member of our team without any cost or obligation. Our lawyers will help you understand your available options for taking legal action, and we can even help you get the medical care you need.
