Catastrophic Injury Lawyers in Lincoln

When people suffer catastrophic injuries, the toll extends far beyond the injury itself. Catastrophic injuries such as severe burns, spinal injuries, and traumatic brain injuries often cause long-lasting physical, emotional, and financial devastation for victims and their families.

If this describes what you or your loved ones are going through, call our personal injury lawyers at Friedman Law Offices. We have extensive experience advocating for injured clients and their loved ones when they need it most.

Understanding Catastrophic Injuries and Their Consequences

Any injury can sideline you and hurt you physically and financially—but when someone suffers a catastrophic injury, it’s another level of devastation with long-lasting consequences. Here are some of the most common catastrophic injuries we see at our firm every day:

  • Multiple Broken Bones: Bone fractures often require complex surgeries and extensive therapy, leading to chronic pain, limited mobility, and disfigurement.
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): TBIs can cause lasting cognitive, emotional, and physical impairments, impacting work, relationships, and independence.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries (SCIs): SCIs frequently result in partial or complete paralysis, demanding lifelong medical care and assistive devices.
  • Amputations: Losing a limb leads to physical and emotional challenges, affecting mobility, daily tasks, and overall well-being.
  • Severe Burns: Burns cause extreme pain, extensive scarring, nerve damage, and disfigurement, often requiring multiple surgeries and intensive rehabilitation.

Compassionate Advocacy for the Catastrophically Injured

We have what it takes to represent clients suffering life-changing injuries after these types of accidents and incidents:

Protecting Your Rights and Maximizing Your Compensation

Following an accident that left the victim with brain damage or disabling neck and back injuries, an insurance company will likely get in touch with the injured party or their family members. Its goal is to settle quickly for mere pennies on the dollar. It recognizes the impact on the company’s bottom line if you retain an attorney and pursue your claim in court.

Resist the urge to accept a quick settlement and let us protect your best interests and rights. We can handle the complexities of a catastrophic injury claim. We collaborate with life care planners, economists and other experts like medical and vocational experts to identify the long-term needs of victims and their family members.

Our goal is to maximize compensation to ensure that it reflects the level of negligence and the overall impact on your life. This compensation can cover a wide range of damages, including:

  • Medical Expenses: Past and future medical bills, including emergency care, surgeries, hospitalization, medications, and rehabilitation.
  • Lost Wages and Earning Capacity: Compensation for income lost due to the inability to work and for the diminished ability to earn money in the future.
  • Adaptive Equipment: Costs for specialized equipment like wheelchairs, walkers, and other assistive devices.
  • Prosthetics: The expense of prosthetic limbs and their ongoing maintenance and replacement.
  • Home and Vehicle Modifications: Necessary alterations to your home or vehicle to accommodate your new physical limitations, such as ramps, wider doorways, or hand controls.
  • Long-Term Care: The significant costs associated with ongoing nursing care, in-home assistance, or specialized facilities.
  • Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by your injuries.
  • Disfigurement: Damages for permanent scarring or changes to your appearance.
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Compensation for the inability to participate in activities and hobbies you once enjoyed due to your injuries.
  • Emotional Distress: Addressing the psychological impact of the injury, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
