How Do I Measure Financial Recovery After a Traumatic Brain Injury or Permanent Disability?

Posted by Anthony Mancini | Jun 29, 2021

At the Mancini Law Group, P.C., our Chicago personal injury attorneys have been representing our Illinois residents for nearly three decades to ensure that if they have been hurt in a traffic collision, slip and fall accident, or while out on the water, they have the resources they need to pursue the financial recovery they deserve.

When those injuries are physically, emotionally, and financially overwhelming, as catastrophic or permanent injuries often are, they require a full evaluation of damages that reflect a lifetime of care.

Our Cook County personal injury attorneys assess each case we handle with a customized legal strategy to pursue maximum justice and maximum results.

Here is why.

No Two Personal Injuries Affect Accident Victims in the Same Way

For nearly thirty years, our personal injury lawyers in Chicago have been representing clients throughout Illinois and have found that even when two people are in seemingly identical accidents, their injuries are vastly different.

While one person may walk away from a pedestrian accident with a broken arm and a few broken ribs, their injuries may begin to heal within months — although it may take up to a year or so to get their physical and emotional healthfully back on track.

Another person in a similar accident may suffer a Traumatic Brain Injury or permanent injuries that they must learn to live with, completely changing their life the moment the accident occurred.

Each of these injuries requires a complete evaluation by medical professionals, so the injured person knows how to proceed and focus on their recovery. They also require a full assessment by an experienced personal injury attorney who can outline how their injuries affect their day-to-day activities and their long-term quality of life.

Catastrophic and permanent injuries can include, but are not limited to:

  • Amputations
  • Brain injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Paraplegia or quadriplegia
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Serious nerve or ligament damage
  • Spinal cord injuries

At Mancini Law, P.C., our catastrophic injury attorneys in Chicago provide our Illinois clients with access to more than a skilled team of legal professionals and support staff.

We will apply our investigative resources in partnership with medical experts, research analysts, and accident reconstruction and engineering specialists to ensure their complete, lifetime needs are fully outlined for our case.

Catastrophic or Permanent Injury Damages Require a Complete Evaluation by Experienced Attorneys

Catastrophic and permanent injuries require an experienced review of each of our client's ongoing medical care, lost wages, and the overall financial impact the injuries have — and will continue to have — on their life.

That may include:

  • Complete medical care, including healthcare facilities and at-home care
  • Current and future lost income
  • Diminished earning capacity
  • Loss of sensory or bodily function
  • Physical or cognitive deficits
  • Emotional suffering, psychological injuries, and mental anguish
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost emotional support, companionship, and consortium
  • Lost quality or enjoyment of life

Catastrophic and permanent injuries lead to great challenges for injury victims and their families, which requires an aggressive approach to pursuing results inside and outside the courtroom.
