Serious Personal Injury

US, Canada and Puerto Rico

At Balkin & Eisbrouch, LLC, we represent victims of serious accidents and injuries that are the result of a number of different factors including injury from use of a defective product, a motor vehicle accident, medical malpractice or a workplace injury. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident that resulted in a serious injury, you should contact a qualified personal injury lawyer to discuss your legal rights. We place emphasis on birth injuries and cerebral injuries due to medical errors during labor and delivery.

A serious injury accident can happen anywhere to anyone. If you were seriously injured in a slip and fall accident on the property of a private owner or business, the party in charge of keeping that property safe could be held liable for your injuries.

Perhaps you were injured by a dangerous drug or defective product. In these cases, the manufacturer of that product, or the party responsible for putting that drug or device on shelves after knowing it could cause harm, may all be held responsible. Only an experienced product liability attorney can advise you of your rights.

Types of Serious Injuries

The impact of a serious injury can be short-term or long-term. Injuries may result in temporary or permanent disability, along with both physical and emotional pain and suffering. Some types of serious injuries include:

• Neck and spinal cord injury
• Brain Injury
• Amputation injuries
• Severe burns
• Paraplegia and quadriplegia

Compensation for your Injuries

If you or a family member was seriously injured, you may be able to collect compensation for:

• Medical bills, including hospital and rehabilitation
• Compensation for loss of wages or the inability to earn future wages
• Loss of financial support
• Reimbursement for future services normally provided by the injured person
• Compensation pain and suffering
• Loss of companionship
• Other physical losses depending on the injury
• Punitive damages, when applicable

The serious personal injury lawyers at Balkin & Eisbrouch, LLC can help you understand your rights and your options. It is important to act quickly with a serious personal injury claim, in order to secure evidence and recall the details of your accident while they are fresh in your mind. Additionally, the lawyers of the at-fault party have probably begun investigating your accident to formulate their defense. 

Statute of Limitations

Serious injury laws are different in each state. You have a strict time limit in which you can file a claim. If you fail to meet these deadlines, you may relinquish your rights to receive compensation for your injuries. Time limits often range within six months to two years from the date of injury.

If you have been involved in a serious injury anywhere in the nation, you do not have to suffer financially. Please contact the personal injury attorneys at Balkin & Eisbrouch LLC. We can answer your questions and help you build a successful claim. We serve clients in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
