Spinal Cord And Nerve Injuries
According to the Spinal Cord Injury Information Network, approximately 12,000 people suffer spinal cord injuries each year. Many of these people suffer their serious injuries as a result of motor vehicle accidents, accidents on the job, motorcycle accidents, falls or acts of violence.
If you or a loved one suffered a serious spinal cord injury as a result of another’s negligence, you may be entitled to a personal injury lawsuit. Our trial lawyers and investigators will carefully review your case and determine who is at fault for your injury. We will then litigate your case and demand full and fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. In addition, if you were injured while at work, we may be able to recover both monetary damages and workers’ compensation benefits.
Head And Brain Injuries
Every year 50,000 people die from head and brain injuries, while many more lives are permanently altered by this serious injury. Mood and personality changes, loss of motor functions, and the loss of speech, sight, hearing and other senses are all common side effects of severe head trauma. If you suffered a traumatic brain injury or lost a loved one due to a serious head injury, contact us to get the professional guidance, counsel and compensation you deserve.
Fractures And Broken Bones
Some people view fractures and broken bones as “minor” injuries. In reality, these injuries can significantly affect your ability to perform your job, and live life as you did before your injury. Any fracture and especially serious fractures, such as a skull, hip or rib fractures, can even lead to severe complications such as blood clots, arthritis, nerve damage, internal bleeding, and even wrongful death. If you suffered a fracture or broken bone or lost a loved one due to complications from a fracture, contact us to get the professional guidance, counsel and compensation you deserve.
Paralysis
Paralysis is defined as the full or partial loss of movement to a body part. It is often the result of a damaged spinal cord in a serious accident, such as a car accident or a fall from height. If you or a loved one suffers from paralysis following a motorcycle crash, construction accident or other serious accident, you deserve compensation. At the law firm of Lozner & Mastropietro, we are committed to helping clients recover maximum damages they need and deserve.
Burn Injuries: Types, Degrees, Effects And Rehabilitation
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, burns are primarily categorized based on their causative agents.
- Thermal burns: These are caused by external heat sources such as hot metals, scalding liquids, steam or flames. These burns raise skin and tissue temperatures, leading to cell death or charring.
- Radiation burns: These result from prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays (like those from the sun) or other radiation sources such as X-rays.
- Chemical burns: These occur when strong acids, alkalis, detergents or solvents come into contact with the skin or eyes, leading to tissue damage.
- Electrical burns: These burns are from either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).
Burn severity is further classified by depth and tissue damage extent:
- First degree (superficial): These affect only the epidermis, the skin’s outer layer. The site appears red, painful, dry and without blisters. Mild sunburn is an example, with rare long-term tissue damage.
- Second degree (partial thickness): These involve both the epidermis and part of the dermis. The burn site appears red, blistered, swollen and painful.
- Third degree (full thickness): These destroy the epidermis and dermis, potentially damaging underlying bones, muscles and tendons. The site may appear white or charred, and sensations may be absent due to nerve-ending destruction.
Burns can lead to several complications, including:
- Fluid loss: Damaged skin can result in significant fluid loss, leading to dehydration and shock.
- Infections: The skin’s protective barrier is compromised, increasing susceptibility to bacterial infections.
- Scarring and contractures: As burns heal, scar tissue can form, potentially leading to skin tightening and restricted movement.
The rehabilitation process aims to aid recovery and improve quality of life:
- Physical therapy: Exercises and stretches help maintain joint mobility and prevent contractures.
- Occupational therapy: Assists patients in relearning daily activities and adapting to any physical limitations.
- Pain management: Utilizes medications and techniques to alleviate pain during the healing process.
- Psychological support: Addresses emotional and mental health challenges associated with burn injuries, promoting overall well-being.
If you have suffered burns due to negligence or accident, our attorney can help you recover some form of compensation to improve your quality of life.
