How Can A Lawyer Help With Common Personal Injury Types

Senior Male Driver Inside Car After Road Traffic Accident Suffering From Whiplash Injury

Depending on the situation, some different types of personal injury can be caused by the negligence of another person, business, or governmental entity. Catastrophic injuries from accidents, dog attacks, falls, and other disasters can leave victims with significant financial losses, permanent injury, and severe impairments.

Extended hospital stays, surgeries, assistive technologies, home, vehicle modifications, and rehabilitation treatment may be required by accident victims. Some sufferers won’t be able to recover fully, which forces them to change how they live.

Your body is valuable, and no amount of money will ever compensate you for harms that restrict your freedom. This is particularly valid if your injuries lead to significant financial losses such as lost wages, medical costs, and other costs.

Contact our personal injury attorneys immediately if you or a loved one was hurt in an accident and sustained personal injuries to find out how we may help you get the maximum amount of compensation to which you may be entitled.

Personal Injury Causes

Numerous factors can result in personal harm. Although every accident could result in personal injuries, it’s important to realize that particular events or circumstances can result in particular injuries.

Some of the most frequent accidents or circumstances that our personal injury firm handles are as follows:

  • Medical malpractice (i.e., surgical malpractice, birth injuries, medication errors, etc.)
  • Abuse, neglect, or carelessness in nursing homes
  • Accidents involving motor vehicles, such as those involving delivery vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, commercial trucks, cars, SUVs, and other types of motor vehicle crashes, as well as pedestrian knockout accidents.
  • Cases involving premises liability, such as slips and falls, trips and falls, slips and falls on ice or snow, trips and falls on pool decks, or any other form of accident that occurs on a person’s, a business’s, or an organization’s property
  • Any other negligent or purposeful harm caused by accidents in New Jersey, including dog bites, animal assaults, workplace accidents, etc.

What Are the Types of Common Personal Injuries?

  • Personal injury accident victims frequently suffer severe injuries due to preventable mistakes and blunders. Some of these wounds can cause death or perhaps permanent disability. We commonly see the following injuries, and we help victims pursue compensation:
  • Neck or back injuries, including herniations, rips in the annulus, and another disc, nerve, or bone injuries; Amputations or limb loss that may be caused by an accident that crushes a person or irreparable damages a limb
  • Traumatic brain injuries include concussions, diffuse axonal TBIs, coup-contrecoup TBIs, penetrating wounds, brain bleeds, hematomas, and other forms of brain injury.
  • Burn injuries, especially when surgeries, grafts, and other damage are required; scarring or disfigurement brought on by accident or by operations or repairs to damage; paraplegia, quadriplegia, or other types of paralysis
  • Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) – either resulting in a specific type of paralysis or due to impingement, likely spinal cord injury, or other spinal cord damages that may cause weakness, restricted range of motion, sensory issues, and other damage
  • Nerve damage, particularly to the facial nerve or brachial plexus in the shoulder
  • Shoulder ailments, such as torn rotator cuffs, SLAP tears, and biceps tears

Soft tissue injuries, such as those to the neck or back, which are frequently caused by whiplash accidents, broken bones, or fractured bones, including those that need an open reduction to repair the damage done, wrongful death, and other types of personal injuries resulting from an accident are also common. The MCL, LCL, PCL, ACL, and meniscus can all be injured in the knee.

Conclusion

Like other instances, in a wrongful death case, our personal injury lawyers are conscious of the possibility that victims may never fully recover, and families may have to face the difficulty of attempting to live without a loved one. If victims or their survivors are pursuing a wrongful death claim, it is important to make sure they have legal representation.

I was referred by another attorney to Gencarelli & Rimassa, as among other areas of practice, they are experts in medical malpractice. After reviewing my Complaint carefully, Mr. Rimassa determined that I had a viable case. He also had no problem representing me in Warren County, although his office is in Bergen County.As things progressed, Mr. Rimassa kept me well informed at all times, advising me throughout the whole process about what to expect in the proceedings, including depositions, and the timeline of litigation. He was very precise in the information he needed from me and was always prompt in answering my telephone calls and e—mails. Mr. Rimassa was very professional and extremely astute, but he also had compassion for my situation.At one point, the defendant’s attorney offered to go to mediation to potentially settle the case outside of a court trial. Mr. Rimassa tirelessly fought for me in mediation until a resolution was reached that I found very satisfactory. Even after the fact, he continued to work on my behalf to negotiate with my secondary insurance to lower its lien, and was ultimately successful.It was obvious from the start that Mr. Rimassa knows his stuff and is a fighter, going above and beyond for me. I highly recommend both him and his law firm!

Melissa is a great attorney. She has represented our family in several issues that were very critical to the future well being of our financial stability. Her team brings big firm tenacity with boutique firm personablility and responsiveness. She was easy to access with questions and always updated us on the status of our cases. She handled a serious car accident and also a contractor fraud case after Hurricane Sandy for our family . In both cases she understood the law and how it applied to our situation and won against much larger firms on the other side. The results of her work were great and we would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great lawyer.
