Do I have a case?
Do you know how to pursue compensation? Were you turned down by another firm, or told you do not have a case? SCB does not hesitate to take unusual or challenging cases, and our attorneys are fully prepared to litigate any case if it is in our client's best interests. If you or a member of your family was seriously injured, it is important that you have your case evaluated by a lawyer with experience in similar matters.
What is a serious injury?
Certainly, a spinal cord injury that results in paralysis, or a brain injury that renders a victim unable to perform simple functions, is a serious, even catastrophic injury. However, legally, a serious injury is one that requires lengthy medical treatment or results in permanent loss of function. A burn injury that results in disfiguring scarring, a dog bite that leads to post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD), and a fracture or orthopedic injury that leads to early arthritis and loss of function in a joint, are all serious injuries.
As your legal representatives, we will help you receive the treatment you need to recover and the compensation you need to pay your medical bills. Our attorneys and staff will help you coordinate medical care, insurance benefits, and personal injury lawsuits to see that you receive the most beneficial outcome possible.
