Serious Injury
Morristown Serious Injury Attorney
Morris County New Jersey Brain & Spinal Cord Injury
It seems like personal injury lawyers are a dime a dozen,
and to be fair, minor accident cases are often relatively straightforward to handle.
However, if a family member has sustained a serious injury in a major accident, the job of finding a trustworthy personal injury attorney becomes much more serious.
The Complexity of Serious Accident Cases
Accident cases involving serious injuries are more complex for several reasons. First, the most serious injuries — including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord damage — require not only immediate medical care but long-term health care and medical assistive devices. The cost of necessary future care must be accurately calculated using both medical experts and life care planners.
Second, a serious injury often prevents the injured person from returning to work. Thus, economic and vocational experts must be consulted to determine the long-term impact on the family of the loss of a wage earner. This requires calculating lost wages as well as lost retirement accruals and other lost employment benefits.
Finally, to use a disrespectful term often used by defense lawyers, the high “dollar value” of these cases means the other side will fight — hard. Your lawyer must understand the medical arguments well enough to support them in negotiations. Your attorney must have a protective and compassionate attitude towards you and be committed to negotiating forcefully and successfully on your behalf.
