Our experienced personal injury and wrongful death lawyers know that catastrophic injuries are characterized by their sudden occurrence and by the lasting nature of the damage they cause. Many circumstances can cause catastrophic injuries. A few examples include:

• Industrial accidents
• Construction accidents
• Motor vehicle crashes
• Sports injuries
• Train and aviation accidents
• Explosions
• Fires
• Swimming and diving accidents

Traumatic injuries to the brain constitute one major category of catastrophic injuries. At Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, we have seen the latest reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that estimate as many as 1.7 million Americans suffer a traumatic brain injury every year. More than a quarter-million of those victims require hospitalization and 52,000 lose their lives. Those who live may face a future colored by thinking and memory problems, changes in taste or other sensations, difficulty communicating, and personality alterations.

Our firm understands the complexities of handling cases involving serious injuries to the spinal cord. This type of catastrophic harm can leave victims with long-term complications that include neurological impairment, full or partial paralysis, respiratory issues, problems with the urinary or gastrointestinal tracts, and depression. The CDC estimates that annual costs for medical care for a victim of spinal cord injuries could total $30,000. Lifetime costs soar into the millions. Our experienced personal injury attorneys know that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries.
