Greenwich Catastrophic Injuries Lawyers
Attorneys in Greenwich, Fairfield County for Victims of Severe Injuries
In most personal injury situations, the injuries will eventually heal, and the victim will generally be able to resume the life he or she had prior to the accident. While the victim might experience lingering pain or other residual effects, such concerns are usually manageable. In some cases, however, another party’s negligence could cause the victim to suffer much more severe and life-changing injuries.
For more than 70 years, the trusted attorneys at Mandelbaum Barrett PC have been helping victims of catastrophic injuries seek full compensation under the law. We understand the challenges that those who have been severely injured may be facing, and we have recovered many millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for our clients. If you or a member of your family has been seriously injured in any type of accident, we are ready to put our knowledge and experience to work for you.
Types of Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries are typically considered to be those which require extensive, ongoing medical care and result in a significant decrease in the victim’s quality of life. Those who suffer such injuries are often left with permanent problems that leave them unable to work. At our firm, we help victims collect compensation for medical bills, lost wages, home modifications, pain, and suffering related to catastrophic injuries such as:
- Severed or amputated limbs
- Thermal or chemical burn injuries
- Neck and spine injuries
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Burns
Burn injuries are a common type of catastrophic injury. While most people understand the dangers of burns caused by exposure to intense heat, there are other ways in which a victim can be severely burned. Contact with caustic chemicals or electric current can also cause serious burns. At Mandelbaum Barrett PC, we understand that burn injuries can leave a victim with a lifetime of pain, nerve damage, and permanent scarring. Burn victims often require specialized medical care, long-term rehabilitation, and other treatment. The costs associated with such care can be staggering. Our lawyers help burn victims recover economic and non-economic damages for the injuries they have sustained.
Traumatic Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can range in severity from a relatively minor concussion to life-altering, permanent brain damage. TBIs cause a variety of physical, cognitive, and emotional impairments, as well as a dramatic decrease in the quality of the victim’s life. If you or someone you love has suffered a traumatic brain injury in any kind of accident, the team at Mandelbaum Barrett PC can help you seek the compensation you deserve.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Catastrophic injuries generally include injuries to the back, neck, and spinal cord. In addition to being very painful, a spinal cord injury can lead to the loss of mobility, the loss of ability to sense touch or temperatures, muscle and nerve spasms, and many other problems. In extreme cases, damage to the spinal cord can result in paralysis or death. Our lawyers offer guidance and representation to spinal cord injury victims throughout the region.
