Catastrophic Injuries

First-hand knowledge of what to do when facing the worst

 
 

Mr. Lapidus is a wonderful lawyer.

My life was nearly destroyed because of the medical malpractice of my physician. A diagnosis was missed and a subsequent surgery made the problem worse. Mr. Lapidus, backed up by his medical staff, filed my case in court and achieved a six-figure settlement at mediation.

If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury, it is critical you seek the assistance of a highly intelligent, diligent, and caring lawyer.  Personal injury attorney Larry Lapidus has the legal knowledge you want by your side and the compassionate understanding you need to feel comfortable when going through this difficult time—he has personally experienced the effects of a family member suffering a catastrophic injury.  He empathizes with your pain and can help you prepare for and cope with the roadblocks in your future.

Mr. Lapidus counsels clients who are dealing with the aftermath of a—

  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Birth injury
  • Coma
  • Serious fall
  • Constant dizziness
  • Closed head injury
  • Penetrating head injury
  • Skull fracture
  • Concussion
  • Other head injury

He has gone head-to-head with negligent property managers, motor vehicle liability insurers, and health care providers and their insurers.  While there is no way to guarantee a successful outcome for your case, Mr. Lapidus does all he can to provide the high-quality service your claim deserves.

Recognizing the signs of serious injuries

A catastrophic injury may not be easy to see or diagnose.  In fact, MRIs and CAT scans do not always recognize blood or tissue damage in head injury patients.  You should contact a doctor immediately if you are personally experiencing or notice a loved one exhibiting any of these symptoms:

  • Sensitivity to light and noise
  • Mood swings
  • Dizziness and confusion
  • Double vision
  • Loss of sense of direction
  • Personality and temperament changes
  • Memory loss
  • Short-term memory changes resulting in consequences at work or home

It is absolutely critical to seek medical attention as soon as possible—delayed diagnosis of a catastrophic injury can cause further damage to bodily functions and reduce the chances of a full recovery.

 
 

Attorney Lapidus is easy to work with.

His outgoing personality, diligence and attention to my case made the entire ordeal of fighting the insurance company easier. He always promptly responded to my emails and phone calls and notified me of every significant development in my case. Working with a reliable professional who deeply cares about me and how my case came out made all the difference in the world during a difficult time in my life.
