Serious Injury Serious injuries don't resolve with time. It is one thing to break a bone, and have it heal with no residual problems. It is another to suffer nerve damage, a herniated disc requiring surgery or brain damage and have your whole life change. Some injuries are permanent and dramatically alter one's lifestyle. Not only must you live with some degree of daily pain, usually an individual's lifestyle is dramatically affected. It is hard to appreciate the effect of a serious injury on an individual's life unless one has personally experienced such an injury or lived with family member who has. In my experience, and contrary to public opinion, most people don't casually institute a lawsuit. On the contrary, its usually only after months or even years of debilitating pain and physical limitations, usually resulting in loss of income and impairment of earning capacity, that one who has been seriously injured consults an attorney. The attorney's job is to recover the maximum amount of monetary damages to which you are entitled. In some cases involving government entities or medical malpractice, these damages are limited, despite the gravity of injury sustained, even death. A good trial attorney will take your case to trial if necessary in order to have the chance to obtain the maximum recovery on your behalf. Wrongful Death The unexpected, unanticipated death of a family member leaves a horrible void. That void is never greater than when your beloved's death is unnecessarily premature through the carelessness or recklessness of another. The law allows the heirs of an individual who has been wrongfully killed to recover money damages for their loss, including damages for the loss of emotional support, companionship and loss of financial support, if applicable.
