A catastrophic injury can come from a hundred different accidents. The legal case is the same shape every time: prove what happened, prove who is responsible, document the lifetime cost, and be ready to try the case. The pages below describe the case types we handle nationwide, organized two ways — by accident type and by injury type.
People searching for help often describe what happened, not what was injured. These pages cover the most common accident types behind catastrophic injury cases.
High-speed collisions, multi-vehicle pileups, head-on crashes, T-bone impacts. Drunk and distracted drivers, defective vehicle systems, dangerous roads.
Read more18-wheelers, tankers, delivery trucks. Federal motor carrier safety violations, hours-of-service fraud, maintenance failures, multiple corporate defendants.
Read moreLeft-turn collisions, lane-change strikes, road-defect cases. Riders take the worst of every crash. We push back on the bias before it shapes the case.
Read moreCatastrophic injuries while you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian. Tiered insurance coverage. App-status disputes. We know the layers.
Read moreCommercial premises liability. Wet floors, broken handrails, dangerous stairs, inadequate security. Older adults often suffer brain bleeds and hip fractures with lifelong consequences.
Read moreWhen the accident takes a life. Statutory frameworks vary by state — standing, damages, and timing all matter. We help families navigate the law and the loss.
Read moreDifferent injuries demand different proof. These pages cover the medical anatomy of the three injury categories that drive the largest catastrophic injury cases.
Concussion, contusion, diffuse axonal injury, hemorrhage. CT and MRI tell part of the story; neuropsychological testing tells the rest. Herb reads both.
Read moreQuadriplegia, paraplegia, incomplete injuries. Lifetime cost projections depend on the level of injury and the quality of acute care. We document both.
Read moreTraumatic amputation at the scene, or surgical amputation after failed limb salvage. Prosthetic replacement cycles last a lifetime — the case has to account for every one.
Read moreThe pages above cover the most common catastrophic injury cases — but catastrophic injuries come from boating accidents, pedestrian and bicycle crashes, defective products, construction site accidents, dog attacks, and dozens of other situations. If another party is responsible for what happened, the case is worth a conversation.
Herb Borroto, M.D., J.D., will read the records and tell you honestly what he sees. Alex Alvarez will tell you whether there is a case worth pursuing. There is no cost and no obligation.
