Why Severely Injured Clients Choose Us

Clients come to us during some of the most challenging times of their lives. They are not seeking a quick settlement; they want an attorney who understands catastrophic injuries, asbestos-related disease, and the long-term impact on families.

Our work is recognized through awards and legal affiliations, reflecting a commitment to thorough preparation, ethical advocacy, and respect for those we serve. We prioritize listening to clients, understanding their medical situations, work history, and family needs. That understanding guides how we pursue compensation for medical care, lost income, and the life-altering consequences of severe injuries, combining strong legal strategy with personal attention.

Catastrophic Injuries & Asbestos Exposure

Catastrophic injuries and asbestos-related diseases fundamentally change how you live, work, and interact with your loved ones. Severe brain injuries, spinal cord damage, major burns, amputations, and similar injuries often require surgery, rehabilitation, assistive devices, and long-term care. The financial impact extends beyond medical bills to transportation, home modifications, and lost earning capacity. An attorney experienced in these cases can help present the full scope of your losses.

Asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma and other lung conditions, may appear decades after exposure, often at jobsites in refineries, shipyards, industrial plants, or construction. Families may also face risk from fibers brought home on work clothing. Connecting these diseases to specific exposure events requires careful review of work history, identification of responsible companies, and medical evidence to establish causation. We guide clients through this process with clear information, thorough preparation, and steady support.

When To Contact An Injury Lawyer

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have an asbestos case?

The best way to find out is to speak with a lawyer who handles asbestos-related claims. We review your diagnosis, work history, and possible exposure sources. If the facts suggest that companies failed to protect you from asbestos, we can discuss potential legal options with you and your family.

What will it cost to hire your firm?

In serious injury and asbestos-related cases, we typically offer free initial consultations and work on a contingency fee. That means our attorney's fee depends on a financial recovery in your case. We explain our fee structure clearly at the beginning so you understand it before making any decisions.

How involved will I need to be in the lawsuit?

We aim to handle the legal work so you can focus on your health. You may need to answer questions, provide documents, or participate in certain proceedings, but we prepare you for each step. Our team works to limit the strain on you while still protecting your claim.

How long do catastrophic injury cases usually take?

The timeline depends on many factors, including the complexity of the injuries, the number of parties involved, and how willing defendants are to negotiate. Some cases resolve within months, while others take longer. We can give you a better sense of timing after reviewing the details of your situation.

Can you help my family if my condition worsens?

We represent both injured individuals and families who are affected by catastrophic injury or serious disease. If your condition changes, we work to adjust our approach and to protect related claims, such as those for family members. We can talk about these possibilities at the beginning of the case.
