Types of Serious Injuries

Accidents can lead to the following types of serious injuries, among others:

• Spinal cord injury or paralysis
• Traumatic brain injury
• Fractures and broken bones
• Loss of vision
• Loss of hearing
• Loss of limbs or amputation
• Injuries requiring surgery
• Burn injuries

Serious injuries may occur after a car accident. Even a slip and fall in a parking lot can have disastrous consequences.

Each personal injury case is unique. In some accidents, a person may sustain only minor cuts or scrapes. But a similar accident for someone else could result in serious injuries, astronomical medical bills, and a loss of income. A serious injury also may result in non-monetary losses such as pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

At Zbinden & Curtis, we pore over every detail of each client’s case and determine the best course of action. In many cases, we work with medical professionals who can give expert testimony and help build a strong case for the client.

Insurance companies may try to minimize a claim for compensation related to a serious injury. At Zbinden & Curtis, we take aggressive action against the insurance company and keep fighting until justice prevails. We look forward to discussing your specific case if you were injured because of someone’s negligence.
