Severe Personal Injury

While some injuries are so devastating they are deemed “catastrophic,” countless other accidents result in severe personal injuries that, while perhaps not causing permanent total disability, still inflict immense pain, cause significant disruption, and create substantial financial hardship. A severe personal injury is one that fundamentally alters your life for a prolonged period, requiring significant medical intervention, forcing you out of work, and leaving you with lasting physical and emotional scars. These injuries can include complex bone fractures requiring multiple surgeries and internal fixation, debilitating nerve damage like Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), serious back and neck injuries resulting in fusions or chronic pain, or internal organ damage. Victims of these injuries often find themselves in a grueling battle with insurance companies that are determined to minimize their claims and deny them the resources they need to heal. At Mailly Law, we are staunch allies for the severely injured. We provide aggressive, strategic representation to ensure that you are not revictimized by an unfair insurance system and that you receive every dollar of compensation you are entitled to.

The stakes in a severe injury case are incredibly high for the individual and their family. The immediate aftermath of an accident is filled with medical appointments, physical therapy, and the stress of mounting medical bills. If the injury prevents you from working, the loss of income creates a financial crisis, adding immense pressure to accept a quick, lowball settlement offer from an insurance adjuster. These adjusters are trained professionals whose job is to pay out as little as possible. They may dispute the necessity of your medical treatment, argue that your injuries were pre-existing, or attempt to shift blame for the accident onto you. Facing this system alone is a recipe for financial and emotional distress. You need a powerful advocate who understands these tactics and knows how to defeat them.

Mailly Law’s approach to severe personal injury cases is founded on meticulous preparation and a refusal to back down. We handle every case with the seriousness and dedication it deserves.

Our Commitment to Securing Your Recovery:

• Comprehensive Investigation and Liability Assessment: We immediately launch a full investigation into the cause of your injury. Whether it was a car accident, a slip and fall on a poorly maintained property, or an injury from a defective product, we work to gather all evidence necessary to prove the other party’s negligence. This includes obtaining police reports, interviewing witnesses, securing surveillance footage, and hiring accident reconstruction experts when necessary.
• Meticulous Documentation of Injuries and Damages: We work closely with you and your medical providers to ensure that the full extent of your injuries is documented and understood. We go beyond the initial emergency room visit to track your entire course of treatment, from surgery and physical therapy to pain management and psychological counseling. This creates an undeniable record of the impact the injury has had on your life.
• Calculating the Full Scope of Your Losses: Our demand for compensation is not limited to your current medical bills. We fight for every category of damages you have suffered, including:
  • All Medical Expenses: This includes past, present, and future costs for hospital stays, surgeries, doctor visits, physical therapy, prescription medications, and any necessary medical equipment.
  • Lost Wages and Diminished Earning Capacity: We document every dollar of income you have lost because of your inability to work. If your injury will prevent you from returning to your previous job or limits your future earning potential, we may hire a vocational expert to calculate the full value of this long-term loss.
  • Pain and Suffering: This is compensation for the physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, and trauma you have endured as a result of the injury. We build a compelling case to show a jury the true human cost of your suffering.
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life: We demonstrate how the injury has impacted your ability to engage in hobbies, recreational activities, and daily routines that once brought you joy, from playing with your children to participating in sports.
• Aggressive Negotiation and Trial Readiness: We present our comprehensive and fully documented demand to the insurance company. We are skilled negotiators, but we are not afraid to reject an unfair offer. Our reputation as formidable trial lawyers means that insurance companies know we are prepared to take your case before a jury if they refuse to negotiate in good faith. This trial-ready posture gives us significant leverage and is often the key to achieving a full and fair settlement without the need for a protracted court battle.

If you have suffered a severe personal injury, you do not have to fight alone. Mailly Law will stand with you, handle every aspect of your legal claim, and fight tirelessly to secure the financial resources you need to focus on what matters most: your health and your recovery.
