Families are suddenly catapulted into a world of complicated medical jargon and paperwork when someone they love suffers a serious brain or spinal cord injury. That can mean insurance forms, hospital visits and agonizing decisions about the best treatment options. It is hard enough seeing someone you care about fighting for recovery but on top of that families also have to deal with the emotional impact of potentially permanent changes that can affect everyone involved for years to come. I know that these times are the hardest any family will ever face because not only do you have to be worrying about whether things will improve, you have also got to be preparing for the reality that things may never be the same again.
At Singer Katz, we have helped a lot of families through similar situations and have learned first hand just how tough these situations can be. We know that hiring a good Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer in Barrie can make all the difference, providing you with the help and advice you need to get access to the proper medical care and long term rehabilitation your loved one needs, while also making sure that the people responsible for the injury get held to account for their actions. We represent families dealing with harm caused by nursing home negligence. These cases involve poor care, abuse, or unsafe conditions in long-term care facilities.
The thing that really stands out in these cases is just how complex they are from a medical perspective. You need someone who not just has the technical understanding of how the brain and spinal cord work, but also has the know-how to navigate all the different treatments and therapies that can impact both short-term recovery and long term prognosis. That is why we work closely with neurosurgeons, rehabilitation doctors, occupational therapy specialists and other experts to put together a comprehensive case that fully explains the extent of our client’s impairments, and just how they are going to affect their quality of life from now on.
After a serious brain or spinal cord injury, family’s immediately start facing a ton of financial stress. Huge medical bills start piling up, people lose income from taking time off work and they are left having to buy specialist equipment or modify their homes to meet their loved one’s changing needs. Insurance companies are notorious for trying to pay out as little as possible on these claims or refusing to pay them at all. That is why it is so important to have a lawyer who knows the ins and outs of complicated insurance policies and is not afraid to put up a fight for reasonable compensation. Losing a loved one due to negligence is devastating. We help families file wrongful death claims with compassion and legal guidance.
We go through every detail surrounding each injury, things like whether a vehicle was properly maintained in the case of a car accident, whether safety rules were being followed at a construction site, whether equipment had failed or if medical decisions had been made that could have been avoided. And we know that more than one person could be liable for these injuries, which is why we will work hard to track down every possible source of compensation.
With a serious brain or spinal cord injury, recovery is a long, long process that involves a great deal of back and forth, between the doctors and insurance companies and the family members who are making all sorts of tough decisions about treatment and care plans. We help families understand their options and fight to get the medical care and rehabilitative programs they really need.
Families are already stressed to the max dealing with medical appointments and caregiving duties, so having to deal with all the legal stuff on top of it can be just about too much. We want people to get in touch with us as soon as possible after these injuries happen, so we can start working on preserving their legal rights and giving them the space to focus on helping their loved one through the medical crisis.
