Representing Victims Of Severe, Life-Altering Injuries In Queens & All Of New York
Any injury can result in severe pain and ongoing complications. However, some injuries are so severe, they are considered “catastrophic.” While there is no set definition of a catastrophic injury, injuries that are temporarily or permanently disabling and/or prevent the victim from returning to his or her normal, pre-injury life are generally deemed catastrophic.
If you or your loved one suffered a catastrophic injury, you already know the immense impact these injuries have, both on victims and their loved ones. Catastrophic injuries often require immediate emergency medical attention, as well as ongoing, sometimes lifelong treatment. Victims may need in-home care and assistance; they may be unable to work, drive, or even get dressed on their own.
