There’s never any warning when it comes to a devastating injury. Whether it happens due to a car accident, fall or another hard impact, your quality of life can change in an instant. It seems fundamentally unfair to suffer pain, mounting medical bills and lost wages due to someone’s negligence. That’s why it’s important to work with an experienced Atlanta catastrophic injury attorney. At the law office of Manuel S. Campano PC, we work with people in the Greater Atlanta area to get the fair compensation you deserve.
Catastrophic Injuries
This level of injury goes beyond the common neck and back sprains people may incur do to a minor fender bender or slip and fall on a wet floor. Catastrophic injuries often require long-term medical treatment, repeated surgeries and even ongoing rehabilitation and in-home care. They are life-altering events. These horrendous injuries have a profound impact on your quality of life. The things you may take for granted such as biking, swimming and interacting with friends and loved ones can all be diminished in some fashion. Catastrophic injuries can also permanently impede your ability to hold gainful employment.
Catastrophic Brain Injuries
The impact of significant head trauma has been making more and more headlines. The force behind that came out of the professional football world. Those high-profile incidents involving athletes has led to extensive research about the debilitating effects of traumatic brain injuries and concussions. The seriousness of these injuries continues to come to light. A defined link has been made between even seemingly minor concussions and brain disorders. Today, the medical world understands that head trauma can lead to cognitive disorders that include:
- Learning and Social Disorders
- Depression and Anxiety
- Sleeplessness
- Speech Impediments
- Cognitive and Social Disorders
- Impaired Hearing and Vision
- Physical Disabilities
- Inability to Focus
These are just some of the ways that significant head trauma can impact your quality of life and ability to earn a reasonable living.
One of the major challenges for people who suffer catastrophic injuries is having an experienced attorney that understands that negligent parties and insurance companies may try to underpay you or deny a claim entirely. At the Manuel S. Campano PC law firm, we can negotiate a fair settlement that accounts for your ongoing needs or file a lawsuit and take them to court.
