Tort Claims for Disabled

Tort Attorneys Serving Disabled Clients

It's perhaps too easy to forget that surviving a serious accident or disabling injury is no guarantee that the same person won't be further injured through a later act of someone else's negligence.

In fact, the reality of frequent medical treatments, multiple prescriptions, and facing physical or mental challenges create greater vulnerability for many disabled persons. These conditions can lead to increased risk of incurring a new disabling injury - one that can make the difference between independence and severe restrictions in mobility, productivity, or family life.

Contact the attorneys representing the disabled at Johnson, Clifton, Larson, & Schaller, P.C., if you have or another has been disabled and then suffered a subsequent injury-causing accident. We know how to develop and present claims and how to address any defense argument that prior physical challenges should diminish recovery or reduce damages.

We handle cases that involve:

• Prescription of contra-indicated medications
• Negligent or abusive treatment in an assisted living facility
• Product defects in adaptive technology devices in your car, at work, or in your home
• Surgical negligence or improper medical treatment that aggravates a prior condition or causes a new injury
• Premises liability claims, especially where the injury was caused or exacerbated by the defendant's failure to accommodate the plaintiff's physical condition
• Defective medical products, implants, or prosthetic devices

Difficult issues of fact and problems of proof can complicate the task of both proving liability and calculating damages in claims of disabled persons. Our experience and resources allow us to devote the time, investigative effort, and forensic support necessary to fully prosecute claims.
