Brain & Spinal Cord Injuries

Obtaining Fair Compensation for People with Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries

Prospective clients often ask us if we have experience in their type of case. That's a good question, especially if the case involves catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord or brain injuries. At Schultz & Trombly, PLLC we know the challenges of spinal cord and brain injury cases, because of our decades of experience with such cases.

There are a number of benefits to working with a law firm with extensive experience in this field:

• We understand spinal cord injuries and brain injuries — how they happen and how the damage presents itself. Spinal cord and brain injuries can be extremely challenging. The impact is multi-faceted, particularly in brain injury cases. It can range from obvious impairments in physical, cognitive and higher executive function to subtle psychological and emotional changes.
• We regularly work with medical experts in the field so that we can help our clients in receiving a complete and accurate assessment and a complete and thorough identification of the treatment and care they require. Such cases can require the assistance of neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, vocational rehabilitation specialists, life care planners, economists and other experts.
• We understand the long term consequences of such injuries, and when we prepare a case, we seek financial compensation not only for today's medical bills and other economic losses, but also for future rehabilitation and care. Adequately providing for someone who has suffered a catastrophic spinal cord or brain injury often extends well past the lifetime of the current care givers. When appropriate, we use structured settlements and special needs trusts in order to maximize the available financial resources. We do this in order that the needed funds will continue to be there for the lifetime of the injured person, so their families do not need to worry about their care.
