Potential Catastrophic Injuries

Suffering from an injury due to any kind of accident can have profound and long-lasting effects on your mental and physical health. Our bodies experience trauma in different ways, and often the various forces of impact and our unique physical and psychological conditions means that no two injuries are the same. This is increasingly true in the case of brain and spinal cord injuries. Each is marked by a unique set of symptoms, but often these issues can create other problems and cause continuous struggles for the victim. A laceration or other wound that healed abnormally may result in disfigurement, causing you ongoing pain and potential emotional distress. Psychological effects are just as difficult to battle as physical ailments, and can set back time and add to frustration regarding your injury.
