Catastrophic Personal Injury

Compassionate and Experienced

A catastrophic injury typically occurs without warning and can result from a truck collision, motorcycle collision, automobile collision, boating collision, pedestrian accident, medical negligence, work-related incidents or other behavior.

A catastrophic injury imposes a tremendous loss on the victim and the victim’s family.

Separating themselves from their peers, the attorneys at Malkinson & Halpern, P.C., work closely and compassionately with catastrophic injury victims and their families to investigate the occurrence, preserve evidence, determine the full impact of the related injuries, and identify those responsible under the law.

The attorneys at Malkinson & Halpern know that a catastrophic injury often results in prolonged medical care and therapy, permanent disability, emotional injury, lost earnings, and a lost quality of life. Some victims are never able to resume their prior activities or return to their known occupation.
