How a Car Accident Injury Can Change Your Life

May 15, 2021 by McPhillips, Fitzgerald & Cullum, LLP

Motor vehicle accidents are scary, unexpected events. Even the most careful and attentive motorists can find themselves involved in one. If the crash was caused by someone else, you deserve maximum compensation for all of the ways you are affected. A severe physical injury has very serious consequences, such as:

  • Expensive emergency room care in the immediate aftermath of the accident
  • Follow-up medical treatments, such as surgery or multiple medical appointments
  • Physical rehabilitation and physical therapy
  • Lasting pain and symptoms of physical trauma
  • Suffering caused by the emotional trauma of the injury
  • Mental anguish caused by the crash

In short, a catastrophic injury can turn your life upside down. We know firsthand that injury victims put their all into overcoming injuries. They get the treatments recommended by their doctor. They work hard at rehabilitation. They put all this work in despite the fact that the crash that injured them was not their fault. We believe you deserve not only justice, but also maximum compensation. While no amount of money can undo what has been done, a financial award can help you pay for medical care, replace the wages you’ve lost as a result of the injury, pay for physical therapy, and for all other expenses and losses. Not only that, but compensation is an important acknowledgement of the negligence that caused your injury. It serves literally as a way of compensating you for this wrong.

The fact of the matter is that each person will be affected by car accident injuries in unique ways. As your lawyers, we are here to learn about how you have been affected and to pursue the best possible resolution to your claim. We want to get to know how the injury has impacted your life so that we can seek to recover full compensation on your behalf.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident and are searching for an experienced accident lawyer, please call McPhillips, Fitzgerald & Cullum to learn more about your options for pursuing compensation. Reach our Florida law firm at 305-751-8556, or our New York law firm at 518-792-1174.
