Severe injuries are typically life-altering injuries. Victims may eventually recover fully, but many do not and are permanently disabled. Severe injuries can shorten your life expectancy and they can carry a huge financial cost for the rest of your life. Calculating the long-term cost of serious injuries is a complicated and important part of determining the appropriate compensation. Our Columbus personal injury attorneys are here to help.

Impact of Severe Injuries
People with severe injuries, such as spinal cord injury, often require life-long medical care and personal care. Secondary conditions may develop leading to illnesses, pain, and early death. Severe injuries often cause chronic pain. The emotional impact can be devastating for victims and their loved ones.
Compensation for severe injuries can give you access to the most advanced medical treatments which may offer the only hope of recovery. It can also mean taking the burden of daily care off of loved ones and greatly improving you and their quality of life.
If you or a loved one has incurred serious injuries due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, please call our Columbus personal injury attorneys or submit an online questionnaire. The initial consultation with our personal injury lawyers is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, in most cases we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a personal injury lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
