ClientRecoverable Damages for Comatose Patients in Alexandria
Regardless of the cause of a coma, it is a serious medical event that can have both short- and long-term ramifications. Some damages we have seen in comatose clients include:
Disability-Related Expenses
Mayo Clinic explains that a coma can lead to a persistent vegetative state. It notes that even if someone awakens from their coma, they may have disabilities for the remainder of their life.
A disability may require:
- Part- or full-time caregiving services
- Relatives to abandon or modify their careers to care for a disabled loved one
- The purchase of medical equipment
- Changes to homes and vehicles to accommodate the disabled party
The cost of disability can be great, but you may not have to pay that cost. We will work to have liable parties cover any disability-related expenses related to a coma.
Pain and Suffering
When someone suffers from a coma, both they and their loved ones experience pain and suffering. Any injury or illness related to the coma may also be painful. Your coma lawyer in Alexandria, LA, will seek compensation for physical pain, emotional and psychological distress, or other pain and suffering you have experienced.
Professional Damages
The person who suffered a comatose state in Alexandria may not be able to work even once they’ve awakened from their coma. Recoverable professional damages related to a coma may include:
- Lost income
- Missed bonuses
- Lost promotion opportunities
- Lost earning power
- Loss of benefits
- Loss of professional fulfillment
A comatose patient lawyer from our team will value, document, and seek fair compensation for your professional damages.
Medical Expenses
A coma generally requires that the patient remains in the hospital for a substantial period of time. Each day in the hospital can mean high medical costs. Our team will gather all relevant medical bills and records, and we’ll demand that liable parties cover your expenses.
If your loved one passed away from conditions related to a coma, we’ll lead a wrongful death case for you. Only certain people, such as the representative of the estate, can file a wrongful death case. Our attorneys can determine who in your family can file.
I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
