Personal Injury & Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Catastrophic Accidental Injury & Malpractice Settlements
Catastrophic injuries usually occur suddenly and without warning altering the lives of both victims and their families forever. Catastrophic injuries include permanent brain damage, a severed spinal cord, limb amputations and multiple injuries plus a host of conditions caused as a result of accidental physical trauma and medical malpractice including the irreversible brain damage that causes cerebral palsy. Most people who suffer from these serious injuries don't have the resources to cover the medical and care expenses that are necessarily incurred, often over a lifetime of suffering. If you or a loved one have suffered the consequences of serious accidental injury or medical malpractice don't just trust to luck when it comes to choosing legal representation. In the most serious cases a specialist personal injury lawyer or an expert medical malpractice attorney can make all the difference between success and failure. Our dedicated catastrophic injury experts have the knowledge and understanding required for dealing with very serious injuries and they offer specialties in all major areas of personal injury law.

Medical Malpractice

Our specialist medical malpractice lawyers have a track record of successful verdicts and settlements and we have established a network of expert medical consultants who can be called upon at short notice to give qualified expert opinion in support of your claim.
Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury and spinal cord damage are amongst the most debilitating conditions very often causing severe disruption to the central nervous system which can affect many of the body’s other functions including loss of movement, sensation, communicative skills and cognitive abilities and may also impact on respiration, circulation, the urinary system, the gastrointestinal system, the reproductive organs and other necessary bodily functions frequently leaving the victim immobile and incontinent. Clearly these major disabilities justify an award of fair compensated if the injury was caused by the negligence of another person. If you or a loved one have suffered a catastrophic injury it goes without saying that your local lawyer is not usually the man for the job unless they profess to be a spinal cord damage attorney or a traumatic brain injury lawyer or at least have experience in settling claims for very serious injuries.
Comparative Negligence or Contributory Negligence
In more serious cases it is often worth considering legal action even if the victim believes that they were entirely or partially at fault and responsible for their own misfortune. The trained legal mind of an experienced traumatic brain injury lawyer, a spinal cord damage attorney or a specialist in wrongful death litigation can often find cause to apportion fault wholly or partially to a third party even when a victim may believe that the accident was entirely their own fault. Even if you were partly responsible for the cause of an accident you can still usually claim a proportion of the damages that would have been awarded to you on a full liability basis. This is known as the doctrine of 'comparative negligence' or 'contributory negligence' which applies in most States where each party shoulders a percentage of fault and anyone injured who contributed to the accident receives a reduced payment to reflect their own share of the liability for causing the accident.
