A Serious Injury Can Permanently Change Your Life
If you have suffered a serious or catastrophic injury, you may be facing a lifetime of pain, discomfort or disability. When an injury causes permanent damage, your life will never be the same. The physical, medical, emotional and financial impact will be with you for life.
At Scolinos, Sheldon & Nevell LLP in Pasadena and Santa Monica, we are committed to providing caring, skilled personal injury representation to people throughout California. With 60 years of combined experience, our serious injury lawyers are prepared to assist you and your family after a severe or permanent injury.
How Were You Injured?
Some of the most frequent causes of serious injuries are:
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents and bicycle accidents
- Trucking accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Dog bites
- Accidents involving children
- Slip-and-fall accidents
You can also suffer serious work injuries on a construction site. We can seek compensation from negligent third parties in work-related cases.
Severe Injuries That We Often See In Our Practice
We have worked with thousands of personal injury clients and have helped them with injuries that include:
- Closed head and traumatic brain injuries such as moderate and severe TBI after a hard blow to the head or the body
- Spinal cord and back injuries resulting in broken vertebrae, nerve damage, limited mobility, paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia
- Severe burns and scarring requiring many reconstructive surgeries, as well as infection control and the need for psychological counseling
- Amputation and limb loss from traumatic accidents, burns, infections and dog bites, leading to permanent disability and disfigurement
- Broken bones that involve complex fractures or breaks that do not heal and that result in limited use or amputation
- Internal organ damage, including internal bleeding, that severely injures an organ and requires it to be repaired or removed
In addition, the loss of hearing or vision is a permanent disabling condition that will significantly affect your ability to work and do daily tasks. No matter which type of catastrophic injury you suffered, you will need considerable compensation for the lifetime of medical treatment you face. You will likely also need compensation for lost income and benefits, and pain and suffering.
If the injury is fatal, we can represent surviving family members in a wrongful death claim.
