windshield in a car accident. If you have sustained a head or brain injury which impaired you

slide 5: Back and Spinal Cord Injuries Every injury to the back can cause a spinal injury resulting in
temporary or permanent paralysis. The injured party is left to
cope with months even years of physiotherapy and has to
undergo more than one surgery. Even after the chances of
being “the old self” again are very low and depend on the
severity of the injury.
slide 6: Amputations Losing a limb is everyone’s worst nightmare. Without it
life is just never the same. Amputations can occur due to a
severe injury or if caught under a heavy object. However
there are also cases of medical malpractice that
involved amputations.
slide 7: Eye Injury Any injury to the eye can lead to permanent tissue and
retina damage causing the individual to become partially
or completely blind. Reconstructive surgeries are an
option but even then the chances of regaining full sight
are extremely low and these surgeries tend to cost a small
fortune.
slide 8: Nerve Damage Sustaining nerve damage usually means being unable to
feel control or use your injured body part. These types of
injuries are followed by extreme pain and require multiple
surgeries and months until recovery. Some people never
fully recover. All that you have to do is get in touch with the Catastrophic
Injury Attorney in Philadelphia and ask for professional
help and guidance. Attorney Eric H. Weitz knows what you
are going through and want to help you get back on your feet.
