Different Types of Personal Injury

PA Personal Injury Attorneys Help Victims Recover Compensation for All Types of Injuries in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania

If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident through no fault of your own, you know that a catastrophic injury can drastically change your and your family’s life. It can be difficult to know when and how to pursue a legal claim for compensation depending on the type of injury you have suffered. Depending on the circumstances of the accident or incident that caused your injury, the type of injury you suffered may limit the avenues of compensation that you are entitled to. The more severe types of injuries can be especially difficult to pursue compensation for, since it is often necessary to calculate future medical and personal care expenses that will be incurred long after your legal claim is settled.

Types of Injuries Our Personal Injury Attorneys Handle

At Goodrich & Geist, P.C. our personal injury attorneys have a track record of success helping clients pursue compensation for many different kinds of injuries. Some of the most common severe injury cases that our firm handles include:

• Brain injuries – Brain injuries can range from a mild concussion to a long-term coma or serious and permanent brain damage. Brain injuries can leave accident victims with significant losses to their speech, mobility, cognitive ability, and personality, and may even leave them unable to work or care for themselves
• Back and neck injuries – Back and neck injuries can be incredibly serious, leaving a victim with life-long pain and paralysis. Back and neck injuries can also include damages to facial nerves, the esophagus, and the trachea, necessitating significant medical intervention to keep an injured victim alive
• Burn injuries – In addition to the damage to skin and underlying tissue that burns cause, victims may also face the risk of additional injury and suffering through infection. Victims may also face the possibility of permanent consequences of a burn injury such as disfigurement or mobility issues
• Paralysis – Usually resulting from a spinal cord injury, victims may suffer paralysis in just one part of the body or may be completely and totally paralyzed. Paralysis can leave an injured victim with a need for complex and long-lasting medical and personal care
• Amputations – An injured victim who is forced to lose a limb must undergo difficult rehabilitation to relearn how to function in the world, and are often unable to fully return to their work and their lives or even return to gainful employment at all
• Child injuries – Children are particularly susceptible to injury because they lack the knowledge of dangers and risks that give people a healthy fear and awareness moving through life. Children often suffer injuries around swimming pools, from defective toys and products, and from aggressive pets

No matter how you were injured through no fault of your own, our dedicated Pittsburgh personal injury attorneys will fight to ensure that you receive the compensation you need for your physical and emotional recovery and to put your life back on track following your accident.
