Personal Injury Information

If compensation is not received for personal injuries, the physical, emotional and financial strains can be devastating.  If you have been seriously injured because of someone else’s wrongdoing, call our Law Office to ensure you receive enough compensation to cover future expenses.

Serious, debilitating injuries create substantial costs for individuals and families struggling to pay for health care, rehabilitation, special educational needs, food and housing.  When the accident victim was the family’s primary wage-earner, financial difficulties may be even harder.  When the accident victim was a child, the financial impact on the family’s life will last a lifetime.

A knowledgeable lawyer from HATZANTONIS LAW OFFICE , will aggressively pursue fair compensation for all current and future medical expenses that resulted from the accident.  A fair settlement should include compensation for emergency room expenses, the cost of surgical procedures, physical therapy and support for medical devices and prescription medications.  Support should also supplement the loss of earning potential.  It may also be possible to receive financial support for non-economic losses such as physical pain and mental anguish.

Types of Personal Injuries

Types of personal injuries may include the following:

• Traumatic brain injuries - brain injuries commonly result from motor vehicle accidents and result in thousands of deaths per year.  For those that survive a traumatic brain injury, most will develop long-term physical, cognitive, behavioral and social problems.
• Spinal cord injuries – a spinal cord injury is typically caused by a sudden impact to the spine which dislocates or fractures the vertebrae.  Most spinal cord injuries are sustained in auto accidents, but can also result from falls or sporting accidents.  A spinal cord injury, such as quadriplegia or paraplegia, can render a victim immobile or unable to perform even the most basic tasks.
• Back injuries – often the result of workplace accidents or motor vehicle crashes, back injuries most commonly develop in the lower back.  Common back injuries include strains, sprains, fractured vertebrae and herniated discs.  Back injuries can cause pain and limit the patient’s movement and are commonly treated with pain relievers, icing, physical therapy and surgical procedures.
• Other types of personal injuries – loss of limb, ruptured discs, head injuries, fractures, burn injuries and paralysis, and many more.
• Litigation of injury claims involves complex medical evidence, complicated issues of causation, large damages and difficult damage calculations.  When you suffer a personal injury, there are numerous consequences, including requiring medical attention for several years or a lifetime.  In addition, you may be enduring a painful physical recovery.  We have an outstanding team of LAWYERS to prepare and present the evidence in your case.
