Quadriplegia & Paralysis

Catastrophic Injuries

Quadriplegia, paraplegia, and paralysis all refer to the loss of function in some or all of one's limbs and extremities. They are usually the consequence of severe trauma or a serious injury. Almost any type of accident or defective product can cause these kinds of serious injuries. Personal injury cases resulting in catastrophic injuries involve unique issues, including the long-term disability of the victim, complicated calculations of financial damages, large damage awards, structured settlements, and determination of the value of things most people never thought could be valued in dollars. Attorney Derriel C. McCorvey has worked with some of the country's leading experts on these matters. He has won major verdicts and settlements to help injured people, paralyzed or hurt or with a diminished quality of life.

Regardless of whether the catastrophic injury is sustained in an automobile accident, an aviation accident, as a result of a defective product, or from prescription drugs, the claims must be handled correctly or future claims can be barred and a seriously injured individual could find himself or herself without the resources needed to cover expenses down the road.
