Orthopedic injuries
Fractures, joint injuries, tendon tears, and post-surgical conditions may affect mobility, work, recreation, and independence.
Serious Injuries
The injury proof must explain what changed—and why it matters.
In serious personal-injury litigation, diagnosis alone is not enough. The medical record should show the mechanism of injury, objective findings, treatment, functional limitations, surgery when applicable, and the lasting consequences of the harm.
Issues we evaluate
- Fractures
- Spinal injuries
- Radiculopathy and nerve injury
- Brain injury
- Surgical injuries
- Permanent functional limitations
Medical proof
Building a chronology that can be understood outside the treatment room.
A strong medical presentation often organizes emergency findings, imaging, specialist care, procedures, therapy, objective limitations, and the progression of symptoms over time.
When causation or permanency is disputed, treating physicians, radiologists, specialists, and other qualified experts may be needed to explain the evidence.
What the case may involve
A focused investigation built around the disputed issues.
Neurologic injuries
Spinal, nerve, radicular, and brain injuries may involve pain, weakness, sensory loss, cognitive symptoms, and other functional consequences.
Permanency
Long-term claims should be supported by objective medical evidence, treatment history, functional proof, and a credible explanation of future limitations.

Serious Injuries questions
Questions that often arise at the beginning of a case.
What makes an injury case “serious”?
The answer depends on the applicable law and the facts. From a practical case-development standpoint, fractures, surgery, neurologic injury, significant limitations, disfigurement, and lasting impairment often require substantial medical proof.
Why is a medical chronology useful?
A chronology helps connect the incident, initial complaints, objective testing, treatment, procedures, improvement or persistence, and present limitations in a clear sequence.
What if the defense says the findings are degenerative or pre-existing?
Pre-existing or degenerative findings do not automatically resolve causation. The relevant question is what the medical evidence shows about the condition before and after the event, the timing of symptoms, imaging, treatment, and qualified expert interpretation.
