A serious injury changes a life for a very long time. A catastrophic injury changes an entire family's lifestyle indefinitely. McGowan & Cecil, LLC, represents individuals and often family members, too, in accident claims and lawsuits resulting in serious injuries such as:
- Amputation
- Burn injury
- Broken bone(s)
- Concussions
The law firm also represents people who have suffered catastrophic injuries including:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Spinal cord injury
After a serious or catastrophic injury, there are more than purely medical issues to deal with. Ongoing physical therapy, occupational therapy and often, psychological therapy, too, will be part of a treatment plan. A lengthy rehabilitation is followed by a long period at home of learning to care for a patient who needs assistance for activities of daily living including bathing, dressing and personal care.
In the case of a serious injury, sometimes the challenge is not simply the injury itself, but rather corollary effects such as phantom pains, ongoing migraine headaches or a developing addiction to painkilling narcotic medications.
In the case of a catastrophic injury, immediate family members (including perhaps a spouse, parent or child) experience a dramatic change to their own lives. They may be forced to move from their home to handicapped-accessible housing or to become full-time caregivers.
