Serious Injuries — Catastrophic Consequences

Physical recovery after a serious injury can take months, even years. One of the most important things your lawyer will do is work with medical professionals to understand the full extent of your injuries. The insurance company, or a judge and jury, need to understand how your injuries have affected your daily life.

• Are you experiencing serious pain? Do you live with daily pain?
• Are you able to work? To sleep? To enjoy life?
• Are your activities limited? Can you do the things you did before? How has your life change?

It's also important to understand your chances for full recovery. With many serious injuries, like brain injury, burn injury, or spinal cord injury, full recovery may not be possible. Financial compensation needs to include ongoing costs you may face for therapy, medications, nursing care and adaptive equipment.

Effective Strategies and Aggressive Litigation

Recovery after a serious injury is costly, both in terms of medical treatment and lost wages. If the injured person was the primary worker in your household, you may be feeling anxiety about your financial situation.

Do not let fear cause you to act too soon. Do not take the insurance company's immediate offer to settle. They rarely offer what a case is really worth. Work with an experienced attorney who has handled serious injury cases before.

At O'Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath we have helped many people in your situation and we know the real value of your case. We will not let the insurance company get away with paying you less.

By working with investigative and medical professionals and preparing strong, effective cases, we are strong advocates for our clients in negotiations and in court.
