How Serious Injuries Can Affect Victims and Their Families

The consequences of a catastrophic injury can have a long-term or permanent impact on a person. The effects of an injury may be felt in every aspect of a person's daily life and the lives of those around them. They may include:

Physical and Financial Consequences

The immediate financial impact of a serious injury can be staggering. When a person is transported to an emergency room in an ambulance, hospitalized, and undergoes surgery or other forms of treatment, the costs involved can add up quickly. Medical bills may continue to accumulate as a person receives ongoing treatment, physical therapy, and medications. Injuries that will require extensive treatment lasting for months or years may result in medical costs of several hundred thousand or millions of dollars.

The financial problems that a person and family may face may be even worse when an injury prevents a person from working. If a victim cannot return to their job because of their injuries, they may lose income for several months during their recovery. If injuries are severe enough to cause permanent disabilities, the loss of income throughout the rest of their career can be massive, and it can limit a family's ability to cover ongoing expenses. A person may struggle to provide for their children, maintain stable housing, and manage their financial responsibilities.

A personal injury claim can address all of these losses. A person may be compensated for their past and future medical expenses, any wages lost while recovering from an injury, and the loss of future income due to a disability. Our attorneys work with medical professionals and economic analysts to document the full scope of our clients' financial damages so that they can be fully compensated for their losses.

Pain, Suffering, and Quality of Life

The harm caused by a serious injury can extend beyond monetary losses. Chronic pain, permanent limitations on mobility, the loss of the ability to engage in activities a person once enjoyed, and the psychological impact of living with a disability or other health issues related to an injury can have an impact on a person's quality of life. The emotional impact of an injury can also be significant, and a person may experience depression or other mental health issues during their recovery and for years to come.

Our lawyers will take the time to understand the full human impact of the injuries our clients have suffered. We will work to ensure that the compensation our clients can receive will reflect the complete impact of injuries on their lives, including their physical and emotional pain and suffering.

Personal Injury Matters Addressed by Farmer & Klopfer

• Car Accidents: Collisions may occur for multiple reasons, but they are almost always the result of a driver's negligence. Our attorneys can gather evidence such as police reports, traffic camera footage, and physical evidence from a crash scene to show that an accident was caused by negligence such as distracted driving, speeding, red light violations, or drunk driving.
• Pedestrian Accidents: When motor vehicles collide with people who are walking, pedestrians will not have any protection against the impact. Our lawyers can help our clients hold negligent drivers responsible for their failure to drive safely around pedestrians.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists will need to share the road with vehicles that are much larger and heavier. When they are involved in collisions with these vehicles, they can be seriously harmed. Our attorneys can help address the biases that motorcyclists may face and make sure they are treated fairly when addressing injuries caused by negligent drivers.
• Bicycle Accidents: When drivers who share the road with bicycles do not maintain enough distance from cyclists traveling in lanes of traffic, they can cause accidents that can lead to serious injuries. Our lawyers will work to ensure that cyclists who have been injured in collisions can obtain the compensation they deserve.
• Truck Accidents: When passenger vehicles collide with large trucks such as tanker trucks, 18-wheelers, or flatbed trucks, these accidents may result in severe injuries. Our attorneys can take steps to determine the causes of commercial truck accidents and identify the liable parties, who may include truck drivers, companies that operate fleets of commercial vehicles, parts manufacturers, companies that load cargo onto trucks, or maintenance providers.
• Rideshare Accidents: People in Glen Burnie often use Uber, Lyft, or similar services for transportation. When rideshare drivers are involved in accidents, determining who is responsible and who may be held liable may be a complex matter. Our lawyers can address questions about the insurance coverage that may apply, and we will work to ensure that the proper compensation will be provided for rideshare passengers, other drivers, pedestrians, or anyone else injured in a rideshare accident.
• Medical Malpractice: Healthcare providers may not live up to the trust that is placed in them by patients. Doctors, nurses, surgeons, pharmacists, or other medical professionals may cause harm to patients through negligence such as misdiagnosis, surgical errors, birth injuries, or medication errors. Our attorneys understand the legal requirements involved in filing medical malpractice claims, and we work to ensure that our clients will be compensated for injuries caused by negligent care.
• Slip and Fall Accidents: Property owners who invite the public onto their premises may be held responsible if they do not address hazardous conditions that lead to injuries. Falls caused by wet floors, uneven floor tiles, damaged stairs, inadequate lighting, or missing handrails may be addressed through premises liability claims. Our lawyers can gather evidence of a property owner's negligence and help our clients obtain compensation for slip and fall or trip and fall injuries.
