When someone suffers a serious brain or spinal cord injury, its impact is huge, not just for the person themselves, but for their whole family. Suddenly they are faced with medical issues that no-one wants to deal with, let alone expected to. Families tell us that they get completely buried under the weight of not just making tough decisions about their loved one’s care but also wrangling with insurance companies and trying to coordinate rehabilitation services all while trying to get a handle on what kind of future their loved one is likely to have after a potentially devastating injury. We, at Singer Katz, have seen loads of families go through this nightmare. We know that hiring a good lawyer can make a huge difference in helping them get the compensation they need to get the best care and services for the injured person. For example, we can help with complicated claims and make sure they are getting the money they need to get the right treatment and support.
Neurological injury cases are virtually impossible to understand without a deep knowledge of how the brain and spinal cord work and how damage to them can happen, especially in situations like trauma, lack of oxygen or other accidents. Lawyers working on these cases need to have a good grasp of all this, so we work closely with neurologists, neurosurgeons, physiatrists and rehabilitation specialists to get a full picture of each client’s condition and make an accurate prediction about what the future may hold and what ongoing care will be needed which can be a lifetime commitment. We represent homeowners and businesses with denied or underpaid fire loss claims. Fire loss claims require detailed documentation and legal support.
The financial cost of treating these kind of injuries can be utterly overwhelming for families who never had to think about the cost of, say, specialized medical care, adaptive equipment, home modifications and personal assistance services. The cost of emergency care, surgery, time in intensive care and months or years of rehab can quickly use up insurance coverage and family savings, making an already terrible situation even harder to cope with. If an insurance broker failed to advise or act properly, you may have a case. We help clients pursue insurance broker negligence claims for losses suffered.
We really dig into each and every case to find out what actually caused the injury whether it was a car accident, a workplace accident, a premises liability problem, medical negligence or a faulty product that did not do its job. Finding out who is responsible and all the insurance that is available is key to building a strong case that fully compensates the families we help.
After a traumatic brain or spinal cord injury, the recovery process usually goes through several stages of care, requiring close coordination between all the different medical fields, insurance companies and family caregivers who have to make loads of decisions about how to treat the injury and where to get care. We are there for families every step of the way, helping them understand their rights and fighting to get fair treatment from healthcare providers and insurance companies.
Families who are already dealing with the stress of medical duties and the emotional toll of having a loved one in hospital do not need any more problems to deal with because of missed legal deadlines and procedural requirements. We tell clients to get in touch with a lawyer as soon as possible after these injuries happen so that any important evidence is preserved and legal deadlines are met while they look after their loved one’s immediate medical needs.
Families in Collingwood who are going through these terrible situations need lawyers who know the technical side of neurological injury law inside out, but also understand the human impact of these situations. We have seen first-hand the difference good legal advocacy can make in terms of getting the money and peace of mind that families need to get the best care possible.
When it comes to hiring a Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer in Collingwood, its not just about finding someone who knows the law you need to find someone who really cares about the families who are going through the worst time of their lives and who are struggling to get a handle on an uncertain future.
