Can’t Travel to See an Injury Attorney due to Catastrophic Injury? McCready Law has Your Back

Sustaining catastrophic injuries due to someone else’s negligence can occur in events such as auto accidents with trailer trucks or semis, falls from heights, severe burns due to a malfunctioning heating component at a rental apartment, or being mauled by a neighbor’s dog that was off its leash and had a history of attacking people. The pain and trauma as well as disorientation can be life-altering, and our mobility may be limited to the point where we may not even be able to get out of bed. However, at the back of our minds, we firmly know that our accident and resultant injuries were caused by someone else and as such, this individual or corporation must be held accountable for their negligent actions towards us.

That said, this opens yet another Pandora’s box which has us thinking – “My injuries are too severe to even see an injury attorney due to lack of mobility; will I ever get the legal help I need to file a claim?” At McCready Law, we understand that flexibility is the backbone of a good law firm, and we are prepared to mold the provision of our legal services to your current circumstances so you can get the justice and compensation you deserve – read on to find out just how exactly we do this.

Our success in the personal injury field can be attributed to a number of factors such as personally handling all claims and not delegating them to inexperienced legal assistants or paralegals, a practice that is seen in the majority of law firms, ensuring to work only with top medical, forensics and accounting experts to not only gather a sufficient amount of compelling evidence, but to also establish causation and negligence as well as accurately quantifying the damages our clients endured, justifying the legitimacy of their claim in a court of law or during insurance company negotiations.

We are also not afraid to litigate claims given our vast experience doing the same as well as the availability of resources to pursue claims to the fullest extent of the law as well-litigated claims usually end in the maximum compensation allowable by law.

I Suffered Catastrophic Injuries and Can’t Travel to See an Attorney – Now What?

Catastrophic injuries are those that result in damage to the brain, spinal cord or any other major organ leading to long-term impairment which then impacts your ability to function in an independent manner.

Examples of catastrophic injuries include:

  1. Traumatic Brain Injuries or TBI where a client may experience issues with memory, concentration, communication difficulties, emotional regulation and even physical impairment
  2. Spinal Cord injuries or SCI where the client may develop partial or complete paralysis, bowel control issues, and so on, requiring lifelong care
  3. Severe burns where extensive nerve damage, scarring and chronic pain complicates someone’s life.
  4. Amputations leading to the loss of a limb requiring prosthetics, extensive rehabilitation and therapy
  5. Organ failure or damage which may require dialysis or organ transplants
  6. Chronic pain syndrome following an accident which may cause intractable and persistent pain which may limit your mobility or ability to carry out daily activities

How Catastrophic Injuries May Impact Personal Injury Claims Assistance

Catastrophic injuries may impact your ability to engage in tradition client-attorney meetings in a number of ways. First off, the mobility limitations due to your being wheelchair-bound or bedridden or requiring specialized transport may make traveling to a law office an impossibility. Next, you may have cognitive impairment issues such as memory gaps, difficulty concentrating, the processing of complex information, which may all hinder traditional interviews.

Communication barriers brought on by aphasia, which is difficulty speaking or understanding, may make verbal exchanges with an attorney challenging. Lastly, the chronic pain you may experience may make it virtually impossible to sit upright for long periods of time or to maintain focus during legal proceedings.

At McCready Law, we believe that everyone must have access to legal assistance regardless of their limitations, and individuals with limiting, catastrophic injuries are no exception.

Here are some of the ways in which we facilitate this:

  1. We can come to you, wherever you are, whether it’s at hospital or at home in order to build rapport, understand your story and planning the journey ahead. We will not ask that you lift a finger and make travel arrangements if this isn’t a feasible option for you.
  2. We can also offer virtual consultations allowing for face-to-face communication while taking into account your comfort and convenience
  3. We may also involve family or caregivers authorized by you and with your explicit consent in initial discussions who may help provide essential information and priceless insight into your daily struggle, impact of the injury on your life, medical history and so on in order for us to get started on crafting a legal demand even when you cannot effectively communicate due to your injuries.
  4. We will ensure that our communication is short, concise and sensitive to your condition where calls, emails and video chats are surgical in nature so as to not tax your mental or physical resources. We shall also ensure to pace ourselves and provide you with frequent breaks so you can recover from cognitive fatigue or any pain flares.
