Catastrophic Personal Injury

Only our most experienced trial lawyers are assigned to handle cases in which there are catastrophic injuries suffered by the plaintiff. The defense of these claims is not the same as the "run of the mill" tort claim. A successful defense requires the utilization of the best experts available in the fields of accident reconstruction, vocational rehabilitation, medicine and economics in order to successfully challenge these claims. We strive to ensure that liability is not automatically imposed simply because the plaintiff is seriously injured. Through aggressive and comprehensive file handling, we strive to keep the recoverable damages within reason and, where applicable, within existing policy limits.

The catastrophic injury trial practice group is headed by Stanley J. Sliwa who may be contacted for additional information.
