Internal Injury
Internal organ lacerations are serious and sometimes life threatening injuries. In Connecticut, despite improvements in vehicle and work place safety including increased governmental and industry safety regulation designed to reduce the occurrence of these injury events, the frailty of the human body wins out. A Liability injury claim brought on behalf of those affected often crosses several practice areas with which my firm is well acquainted. Many of these injuries occur in the work environment and involve construction site injuries and mobile equipment or vehicles. At times this can occur as the result of inadvertent injury to organs within or near the operative site during scheduled surgery thus raising the question of medical negligence. Internal organs such as livers, bile duct, kidneys, stomachs and the aorta can be injured due to a multitude of causes and require major life and psychological adjustments if the initial trauma is survived. The recovery is definitely a process though possible and I have seen excellent results over the longer term. After stabilizing medical care is received, financial security and taking account of rehabilitative needs is essential. Often times those so injured will need to pursue a workers compensation claim, a general negligence claim and on occasion a products liability or medical malpractice claim as well. We can handle all aspects of these matters for you so you will not require a separate firm to handle your workers compensation case and another to investigate a general liability tort claim. We have received multiple substantial verdicts and settlements in this area including both six and seven figure results for our clients. My firm works with all manner of engineering, construction safety, OSHA Safety and accident reconstruction specialists who provide essential investigation, reconstruction and expert witness services to for the benefit of our clients. We take an exhaustive approach to developing these claims. My Firm has handled and investigated cases involving a wide variety of circumstances leading to this outcome. We work closely with life care planners who assist in both the litigation aspects and assist in developing personal coping mechanisms for our clients. Contact us now and we will aggressively and tirelessly pursue your case. Getting legal help early is perhaps the single most important thing you can do now. Please keep in mind that strict Statute of Limitation periods apply and often case results can be enhanced by early involvement of councel in order to secure critical evidence, witness statements and avoid unhelpful contact between you and an insurance adjuster or investigator. We pursue these types of cases, when justified, strictly on a contingency fee basis and advance all costs of investigation which you are not responsible for unless we recover a Judgement or settlement on your behalf.
"The profession of law is not just a business. It transcends a mere occupation. It is a lifelong communal pursuit of justice."
