Catastrophic Injuries Attorney Stephen D. Apolinsky represents the interests of victims of catastrophic injuries or wrongful death through representation of victims and their families in nursing home, auto and truck accidents, and premises liability cases. Injuries that are considered catastrophic due to the enormous impact they have on the lives of the individuals who experience them include the following: brain injury, spinal cord injury, accidental amputation, severe burns, multiple fractures and other neurological disorders. A catastrophic injury or illness very often causes severe disruption to the central nervous system, which in turn affects many other systems of the body. In addition to possible loss of movement, sensation, and communicative and cognitive abilities, the injury or illness may impact respiration, circulation, skin, the urinary system, the gastrointestinal system, and other body systems. The patient and family experience significant life changes as they progress through acute hospitalization and rehabilitation, and return to home and community. To achieve the best possible outcome and return to a full and productive life, the adult or child with a catastrophic injury or illness needs the benefit of rehabilitation that offers an interdisciplinary approach and coordinated care.
