Catastrophic Injury

Major Injuries that Permanently Change Your Life

The law firm of Brookman, Rosenberg, Brown & Sandler (BRBS) provides legal counsel to individuals who are seriously hurt. A catastrophic injury is one that changes your basic functional abilities—physical, mental, or both. You may be disabled and unable to work, yet the initial and future medical costs of treating such injuries can be staggering. In addition to your medical expenses and lost wages, ongoing expenses may include—

  • Durable medical products (wheelchairs, prosthetics, etc.)
  • Home health care assistance
  • Modifications to your home and car
  • Other household help
  • Vocational retraining

If your catastrophic injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence, The Pennsylvania catastrophic injury attorneys at  BRBS helps you file a lawsuit to get adequate compensation for your losses.

Causes of Catastrophic Injury

While most people do not expect to suffer a catastrophic injury, major damage to the body can occur in daily life, in situations such as—

  • Falls from great heights
  • Medical malpractice

Serious injuries are common at industrial workplaces, including—

  • Construction sites
  • Factories
  •  Machine shops

These accidents may result in lost fingers, severed limbs, internal organ damage, spinal injury, brain damage, blindness, or deafness. When another person may have been negligently responsible for your catastrophic accident, the Pennsylvania personal injury lawyers at BRBS take on your case and pursue damages.

Options for Recovering Damages

When your catastrophic injury occurred during your routine activities, our attorneys examine the specifics of your accident to determine who may have been negligent. There may be multiple individuals or companies who bear responsibility for your injuries. BRBS negotiates with the insurance companies to obtain a settlement that will adequately cover your current and future expenses. If an appropriate settlement cannot be reached, we file a personal injury lawsuit and seek a damage award from a jury.

If your injury occurred at work, our Pennsylvania personal injury lawyers assess the details of your accident and guide you to the strategy which will give you the best possible outcome. Workers’ Compensation provides itemized payments for specific catastrophic injuries, and may also offer a lump-sum payment for permanently disabling injuries. However, third party negligence at a job site may provide a more effective source of compensation. The lawyers at BRBS explore all of your options and take the best course of action on your behalf.
