Compensation for Catastrophic Injuries
Third-degree burns, closed head injuries and other life-changing physical injuries caused by the negligence of others cannot be "fixed" by money. At the same time, a tremendous amount of compensation is often required to meet the medical care and quality-of-life needs that an injured victim will experience as a result.
Determining how much that compensation should be is often a very complex process.
At Ventura, Ribeiro & Smith, we have been helping catastrophically injured people obtain just compensation for more than 50 years. Today, our lawyers can begin working to help you and your family to recover as well. In both Connecticut and New York State, you can reach us at our toll free number, 1 (866) 958-3545 to schedule a free consultation. You can also contact us online.
Experience With Both the Medical and Legal Issues Is Important
Our experience as a firm includes cases that involve:
- Head injuries and brain damage — Because the full effects of closed head or traumatic brain injuries (TBI) may not fully reveal themselves for some time, it is important not to rush into a settlement agreement until the injuries have been carefully evaluated.
- Back and spinal cord injuries — Injuries to the back or spinal cord can inflict a lifetime of pain. Our lawyers have successfully represented individuals who suffered herniated discs, impinged nerves, broken vertebrae and paralysis.
- Severe burns — One of the most excruciatingly painful injuries a human being can experience, severe burns often require lifetime medical care and frequently lead to shorter life expectancies. Compensation needs to reflect those facts.
- Amputation injuries — Losing any part of your body because of someone else's negligence is a devastating blow. Our attorneys will give you a strong voice in the legal process and seek maximum compensation on your behalf.
- Vision or hearing loss — Losing your eyesight or ability to hear often means having to relearn many of life's basic daily tasks. It can also mean losing your career. If this has happened to you, our firm can help.
- Scarring – Accidents often involve permanent scarring or disfigurement, which can affect you and your self-esteem for the rest of your life. Let us help you seek compensation for such injuries.
