Serious Injury Accident

You may need significant medical care and treatment. Your injuries could require weeks, even months, of recovery time.

Serious injuries may leave you with permanent damage. These catastrophic injuries may result in permanent damage to your limbs, altering your mobility. Or they may affect your ability to think or reason. Catastrophic injuries may include:

• Traumatic brain injury
• Organ damage
• Loss of limbs
• Burns
• Internal bleeding
• Damage to nerves or spinal cord
• Scarring
• Broken or crushed bones
• Disfigurement

Although the injured victim may recover, they could still suffer from the long-term effects of the damage. An accident victim who is seriously hurt may need continuous care or assistance completing basic household tasks. Since family members often step in as caregivers, these catastrophic injuries can take an emotional and financial toll on them.

When you and your family face struggles from the effects of a severe injury, you need to take steps to protect yourself. You can find out what rights you may have when you are seriously hurt by calling the West Palm Beach accident lawyers at Wolfson & Leon today at (561) 997-7558.

Accident victims may be entitled to compensation when their injuries result from someone else's negligence. The type of recovered damages and the amount is based on the circumstances around your accident and the severity of your injuries.

Laws and deadlines may vary based on the type of accident, so it is good to speak with a West Palm Beach serious injury accident attorney as soon as possible. If too much time goes by, you could lose proof that could be invaluable to your case. Should you miss a filing deadline, you may be unable to recover anything.

When you reach out to Wolfson & Leon for your free consultation, our West Palm Beach accident attorneys go to work evaluating the merits of your case. We can answer your questions and talk to you about what to expect if you file a lawsuit. We can assess the compensation you may be entitled to for:

• Medical bills
• Missed wages
• Home care
• Property damage
• Loss of future earning potential
• Medically necessary modifications to your home or vehicle
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of enjoyment
• Emotional or mental anguish

If your injuries are severe and life-altering, your spouse may be able to recover damages for loss of consortium, which means loss of affection, attention, and comfort.

You may be contacted by the third party's insurance company with a settlement offer. Just keep in mind that insurance companies want to keep their payouts as low as possible. Their offer may not include all the damages you could be entitled to. And if you settle too early and the damage is worse than the doctors expected, you may find that you don't have enough money to pay for your care.

If you don't know your legal rights when you've been hurt or think you can't afford representation, you may try to settle on your own, if at all. Or perhaps you feel that you played a role in the accident. Regardless of the reason, it is in your best interest to find out what legal rights you have to compensation if any. If you don't know your options, you could be stuck with the high cost of your medical care.

Wolfson & Leon not only offers a free consultation, but we also work on a contingent-fee basis. Our West Palm Beach accident lawyers are only paid when you settle if we pursue a legal claim on your behalf. With legal fees paid out of your settlement, you don't have to stress when figuring out how you can pay for help.
