Serious Personal Injuries

Any accident that results in injury is serious, but some injuries have a prolonged and pervasive effect that can devastate the lives of victims and their families.  Quite often, these injuries necessitate a lifetime of expensive treatment and rehabilitation.  In some tragic instances, they even leave victims unable to care for themselves.  For many, the aftermath of catastrophic accidents is more painful, at least emotionally, than the accident itself. 

If you have been seriously injured in any type of accident that wasn’t your fault, attorney Jeffrey S. Gilbert can help you.  He has devoted his life to fighting for the rights of those injured by the negligence of others and would welcome the opportunity to help you in your quest for justice.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are most commonly caused by blows to the head or penetrating injuries that disrupt the normal functioning of the brain. Such injuries are often subtle and therefore overlooked when combined with other injuries from auto accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, physical assault, athletic injuries, and other accidents. Traumatic brain injury may result in:

Victims of traumatic brain injuries can face a lifetime of expensive medical care and rehabilitative or compensatory therapies.  These types of injuries can affect, if not completely lay waste to, an individual's ability to work and earn a living.  As a result, many victims do not have the financial resources to keep up with the increasing expenses associated with their care and treatment.  Mr. Gilbert understands the devastating effects brain injuries can have on both victims and their families, and he is committed to helping them obtain compensation for the expenses and losses resulting from their injuries.

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

The spinal cord is the column of nerve tissue encased by the spine that is responsible for delivering messages from the brain to the rest of the body. A spinal cord injury (SCI) can damage or destroy this essential conduit and cause permanent disability or paralysis. However, the spinal cord does not need to be severed for functionality to be lost.  Even a mere compression can be damaging to the function of the spinal cord.  Spinal cord injuries generally fall under one of the following categories:

Like those individuals with serious brain injuries, victims of spinal cord injury can face the overwhelming financial, physical, and emotional hardships that are associated with a lifetime of medical care and treatment.  In many cases, however, such injuries affect more than just the victims, themselves.  Victims' families also share in the financial burdens and emotional pain and suffering as they witness their loved ones' quality of life deteriorate.  If you entrust your spinal cord injury case to the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Gilbert, Mr. Gilbert will fight to ensure that you and your loved ones receive the full compensation that you need to cover the losses, expenses, and suffering resulting from your accident.

Wrongful Death

Losing a beloved family member is extraordinarily difficult under any circumstance.  However, when that death is the direct consequence of someone else’s negligence, the loss can be even more devastating.  Wrongful death claims are intended to protect the families of victims by awarding compensation for the losses and expenses resulting from the death of their loved one. In wrongful death claims, the deceased's family and estate may be able to obtain compensation for the full value of life, medical and funeral costs, future lost wages, lost benefits and inheritance, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of support or companionship, as well as possible punitive damages.

Mr. Gilbert empathizes with the families of wrongful death victims and understands the painful circumstances that have led them to seek his expert representation.  First and foremost, he desires to help grieving family members find closure, relief, and some measure of justice in the wake of their tragic loss.

Product Liability

Manufacturers have an obligation to ensure that their products are safe for their intended use.  If they fail to meet this obligation, unsafe products can be introduced onto the market, subjecting consumers to serious injury and even death.  Fortunately, victims of defective products have legal recourse under product liability laws.  These laws are in place specifically to hold manufacturers accountable for their products and to protect consumers from injuries.  When a defective product causes injury, victims may take legal action against manufacturers, sellers, or distributors. 

The most common product liability claims involve automotive defects (such as defective tires, brakes, or airbags), dangerous drugs, and children's toys. In these claims, defects are often categorized as follows:

Victims of defective products need experienced representation to ensure that their rights are protected.  Attorney Jeffrey Gilbert provides  representation of the highest standard to help injured individuals in their pursuit of justice.

Premises Liability

Premises liability laws provide legal protection to individuals who are harmed while on public or private property. Property owners have a responsibility to ensure that their premises are safe for visitors by warning them of or otherwise protecting them from potential hazards.  Failure to do so can result in injury.  Though broken bones, cuts, and bruises are the more common types of injuries caused by property owners' negligence, serious personal injuries, including brain and spinal cord trauma or wrongful death, can occur.

Slip and Fall Accidents

One of the most common types of premises liability claims involves slip-and-fall accidents.  These accidents occur frequently on tainted or uneven surfaces; for example, in supermarket or restaurant settings, a patron may step on a foreign substance and slip or trip over broken floor tile.  Often, the property owner is found negligent and is held liable for any injuries occurring as a result of the accident.  However, identifying and establishing legal responsibility in slip-and-fall accidents can be a complex matter; the fact that an injury occurred on someone else’s property is not sufficient to determining liability in and of itself.  Essentially, it must be established that the property owner had specific knowledge of the presence of the hazard, and that the hazard could not have been foreseen or anticipated by the injured individual. This is referred to as the superior knowledge doctrine.  

Mr. Gilbert has extensive experience handling a wide range of slip-and-fall claims, and he is intimately familiar with the nuances involved in this type of litigation.  If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip-and-fall accident, Mr. Gilbert will aggressively pursue the compensation to which you are entitled.

Medical Malpractice

Medical professionals are expected to provide care of a reasonable standard at all times.  When healthcare providers fail to meet this standard and a patient is harmed as a result, the victim may have grounds to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.  Some of the most common medical malpractice claims handled by Jeffrey S. Gilbert involve:

Individuals who suspect that their injuries are attributable to sub-standard medical care should seek legal counsel immediately.  Because the medical community has the resources to retain teams of high-powered lawyers and experts working to counter malpractice claims, victims need powerful, determined representation to ensure they are justly compensated for their injuries.  When it is time for negligent healthcare professionals to answer for the injuries they have caused, attorney Jeffrey Gilbert is able to provide the aggressive legal representation victims of medical malpractice need to achieve justice. These cases are extremely complex, and Mr. Gilbert will often assemble a team of experienced litigators to prosecute these claims, of course at no additional cost to the client.
