Hearing Impairments/Tinnitus
If you have suffered serious hearing impairments or tinnitus in an accident caused by another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to damages under California law. Litigating a hearing impairment claim can be difficult, but an experienced attorney can help you investigate the facts and build a strong case for compensation. Tinnitus is a common hearing impairment that can cause significant interference with daily activities. If you are dealing with tinnitus-related issues stemming from an accident, it’s important to seek the assistance of a qualified attorney as soon as possible.
Eye Injuries
Eye injuries can cause drastic impairments and have a significant impact on a person’s life. If you have suffered an eye injury, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. An experienced Los Angeles catastrophic injury lawyer can help guide you through the process of pursuing an action against the responsible parties. Common eye injuries include chemical burns, orbital fractures, detached retina, and infections. To establish liability, you must prove that another party engaged in negligent, reckless or intentional misconduct. Factors that contribute to eye injuries include lack of safety equipment, physical trauma, medical negligence, and workplace hazards. Contact a lawyer to learn more about how they can help advance your interests.
Burn Injuries
If you’ve received burn injuries in an accident caused by another party’s negligence, recklessness, or wrongful misconduct, you may be entitled to damages under California law. Burns can lead to substantial losses, but the losses suffered are not the same for each victim. A minor burn may not give rise to damages for embarrassment or humiliation, while a burn that leaves deep scars all over the victim’s face may give rise to a claim for damages that accounts for the losses associated with disfigurement. Burn injury claims can be a challenge to litigate, but burn injury victims tend to be excellent plaintiffs, as juries can more easily sympathize with the pain and suffering the victim has gone through, particularly if there has been some level of disfigurement. There are three degrees of burn injuries, in increasing order of severity: first, second, and third.
Spinal Cord Injuries
If you have suffered a spinal cord injury due to the negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct of another party, you may have a right of action against the defendant for damages under California law. At Source Legal Group, they have extensive experience helping clients navigate the unique challenges and opportunities available to them in a spinal cord injury lawsuit and work closely with clients to ensure they remain engaged throughout the process and communicate their goals, preferences and concerns.
