Traumatic brain injury
For families watching someone they love change after a head injury, even when the scans look normal.
Serious injury. Steady counsel. For the family carrying it all.
We represent people living with brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe burns and limb loss, and families who have lost someone. We take a small number of cases and see each one through, however long it takes.
Or call (412) 555-0164. A person answers 7 days a week.
Cases we take
Only injuries that change a life, and losses that change a family. We keep about 40 cases open at a time so every family gets real attention.
Spinal cord injury
For families learning what paralysis will mean, from the ICU waiting room to the first weeks home.
Wrongful death
For families who have lost someone, and want answers without having to fight alone.
Burn injuries
For families facing a burn unit, months of grafts and a recovery measured in surgeries, not days.
Amputation and limb loss
For people adjusting to limb loss, and the families learning alongside them.
Life care planning
What a life care plan is, who writes it, and why it decides whether a settlement lasts a lifetime.
If someone is in the hospital tonight
You don't need a lawyer at the bedside. These six steps protect your family while you focus on them.
We come to the hospital, the rehab unit or your kitchen table
The first conversation is free and has no time limit. One of our four attorneys comes to you, with our nurse case manager when it helps. You can bring whoever you like, and you never have to explain the same thing twice.
How a case like this works
-
Step 1: We listen
A free, unhurried conversation, by phone or in person at the hospital, rehab unit or your home. No forms to fill in first.
-
Step 2: We protect the evidence
Preservation letters, scene inspections and records requests start within days, so nothing important is lost.
-
Step 3: We plan for a lifetime
Doctors, a life care planner and an economist work out what this injury will cost over the years ahead.
-
Step 4: We resolve it, or try it
Most cases settle. If a fair offer does not come, we go to trial. You decide, with our honest advice.
What it costs your family
-
No fee unless we recover
Our fee is a percentage of any recovery, usually 33 to 40 percent depending on the stage, set in writing before you sign anything.
-
We pay the case costs
Experts, records, testing and court costs are paid by us as the case goes. If there is no recovery, you owe us nothing for them.
-
Clear numbers at the end
Before any money changes hands, you get a written statement showing the recovery, the fee, the costs and what goes to your family.
Example outcomes
These are example outcomes written for this sample site. They are not real cases. Every case is different, and no lawyer can promise a result. Past results do not guarantee or predict the outcome of any future case.
Example outcome Brain injury
A teacher's concussion that was not mild
Settled before trial
A rear-end crash left a middle school teacher unable to manage a classroom. Her scans were normal. Neuropsychological testing showed lasting attention and memory loss, and her husband's daily journal showed what that looked like at home.
Example outcome Amputation
A modest result, honestly explained
Settled for the policy limit
A delivery driver lost part of his foot when a forklift operator at a small warehouse backed into him. The warehouse carried a small insurance policy and had few other assets.
Example outcome Spinal cord injury
A case we lost at trial
Jury verdict for the defense
A diver was injured at a private lake. We argued the owner should have posted depth warnings. The jury decided the owner was not responsible.
In families' words
“Ruth came to the rehab hospital on a Sunday. She talked to my son before she talked to me. That told me everything.”
“They never once rushed us. When we wanted to pause for a few weeks after the funeral, Helen said the deadlines were handled and to take the time.”
Family notes on this sample site are fictional. Client stories do not predict the result of any other case.
