Brain Injuries

Brain injuries are one type of catastrophic injury. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects one or more areas of your brain. It can lead to impaired memory and problems with vision, emotions, communication, and physical movement. Even seemingly minor brain injuries can create long-term problems. 

Spinal Cord Injury

A spinal cord injury is caused by damage to your spinal cord that often results in a loss of function. Your spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that travels from your brain, inside your vertebrae, down your neck and back. It carries sensory impulses to your brain and commands from the brain that control your movements.

Your vertebrae cover and protect your spinal cord, but physical trauma to your neck, back or skull can injure the spinal cord or its ability ot function properly.  The result is a loss of feeling and/or mobility.  The damage can be temporary, but in an unfortunate number of cases, it is permanent.

The leading causes of spinal cord injury are:

  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Slip and fall injuries
  • Violence
  • Sports injuries

Burn Injuries

A burn injury can be catastrophic. Often, burn injuries require hospitalization and long term treatment. Physical disfigurement resulting from burn injuries can also lead to severe emotional damage, requiring counseling or other mental health services to help cope.

Motorcycle Collisions

Motorcycles have gained popularity among consumers because of rising gas prices. Because of their size, motorcycles and their riders often do not get the respect they deserve on the road. Many drivers overlook them, and do not understand that motorcycle drivers have the same rights to the road as other automobiles. This leads to an increase in collisions.  Tragically, many of these motorcycle accidents leave the victims severely injured, paralyzed, or fatally wounded.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that there were almost 6000 motorcycle fatalities in the year 2008. There were also close to 100,000 non-fatal motorcycle accident-related injuries. This number has continued to rise for 11 consecutive years. Approximately half of these fatal accidents involved another vehicle.

The most common injuries associated with motorcycle accidents are:

Avoiding Motorcycle Accidents

As a motorcycle driver, there are a few things that you can do to avoid accidents, such as:

  • Remember that you can often be hidden in car or truck driver’s blind spot. Be careful to avoid riding in this blind spot whenever possible.
  • Always wear the appropriate protective gear, including a helmet. It is even better if your gear is in a bright color that can easily be seen.
  • Remember to use your turn signal when taking turns or changing lanes.
  • Avoid riding in and out of cars when stopped in traffic.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a motorcycle collision, Shore Dombrowski Law Firm, PC can help you receive the compensation you deserve.

Premise Liability

The legal term “premises liability” designates injuries or deaths that occur on a premise, due to an unreasonably dangerous condition on property that is owned or leased by someone other than the person who was injured or killed, when the owner or lessee knew or should have known the condition existed.

Various types of premise liability:

  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Sidewalk trip and falls
  • Inadequate security
  • Elevator or escalator injuries
  • Amusement park accidents
  • Swimming pool injuries
  • Inadequate property maintenance
  • Animal attacks (dog bites)
  • Injuries arising in restaurants or stores
  • Elevator or escalator)accidents
  • Ice or snow accidents
  • Ceiling collapse
  • Defective stairways
  • Negligent security
  • Fire safety and building code violations
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Supermarket accidents

Property owners have a duty to provide a reasonably safe environment for any individual who comes onto their premises. If you or a loved one is injured because a property owner or a business owner failed to provide a reasonably safe environment, you may have a valid premises liability injury claim and may be able to collect damages incurred due to your injury.

Dog Bites

Each year, an estimated 800,000 people in the US are injured by a dog bite requiring medical attention. Sadly, a large number of these victims are children, and sometimes the attack results in death. If you or a loved one has been the victim of a dog bite injury, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your damages.  Shore Dombrowski Law Firm, PC is here to make sure your rights are protected.

Dog Bite Liability and Injuries

In Arizona the owner of the dog is responsible for the attack.  Even a landlord may be liable if they  had previous knowledge of the dog’s tendency towards aggression.

Dog bite attacks can result in serious injury. The most common injuries associated with dog bites are:

  • Skin lacerations
  • Puncture wounds
  • Crushed or broken bones
  • Infections from rabies and other diseases the dog may carry
  • Loss of tissue
  • Nerve damage, especially if the bite was to the face
  • Emotional scarring

The emotional scarring of an animal attack can be severe. While some  may be able to move on from the event, other victims, adults and children alike, may be forever terrified of dogs and have repeated flashbacks to their attack. This type of mental distress is difficult to overcome and can be debilitating to some people.
