Personal Injury
Any injury takes a toll on an individual's life and finances. When the injury is catastrophic or fatal, the individual and his or her family are changed forever. The compensation for such an injury should reflect the long-term needs of the injured person, including both immediate and long-term medical care, a loss of income due to the person's inability to return to work, care for loved ones if that person is the head of the household, and pain and suffering associated with such a significant loss. At Giarrusso Norton Cooley & McGlone, P.C., we are committed to helping injured individuals and their family members as they cope with the lasting effects of such a traumatic event.
