Serious Injury/ Disfigurement


Serious Injury / Disfigurement

Serious injuries are those that tend to continue without a resolution or that leave a person in an unfavorable and permanent state which cannot be corrected/altered. Such serious injuries include brain injury, spinal cord injury, head injury, brain damage, paralysis (either paraplegia or quadriplegia), and amputation.

 

Other types of serious injuries include auditory issues (tinnitus — constant ringing in the ears); vision issues (impaired/lost eyesight); cognitive issues (memory lapse/loss; forgetfulness, PTSD, etc.). These types of injuries require extensive medical treatment, specialists in specific medical fields, observations/assessments/imaging, lengthy hospital stays, and quite often aftercare in a rehabilitation hospital with extensive physical therapy, or the future need of surgery.

These types of injuries can create permanent disfigurement leading to further medical complications, emotional/psychological injuries, as well as unexpected marital and family problems (loss of consortium — intimacy, sexual intercourse, etc.).

Sadly, certain permanent disfigurements of the face and body may not demand further medical care (E.g., scarring) but typically lead to severe emotional/mental anguish for the injured person.

The payout and laws vary for personal versus government related cases. Both private (meaning a non-government person) and government parties that are at fault fall under strict time limitations that do vary. Understanding the difference between the two types of cases can affect your rights and compensation you deserve. Reach out to make sure that you are properly protected and represented.
