- Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) occurs when the brain is damaged as a result of a sudden intense force. Each year, over 1 million Americans are treated for TBI and another 50,000 die from their injuries. Most cases of TBI involve falls, auto accidents, and physical assaults. TBI can range from mild, involving only temporary loss of consciousness, to severe, resulting in coma or amnesia. Severe TBI can have a devastating impact on victims' lives, causing paralysis, seizures, impaired speech, and sensory losses. Victims of TBI may be unable to work or perform routine daily tasks after the injury. Powell Law Offices, P.A., knows the difficulties TBI victims face after their injury. We will thoroughly investigate your case, help you accurately assess your damages, and hire expert witnesses to prove the extent of your injuries to the jury.

- Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when the spinal cord is damaged, thereby resulting in a loss of function or feeling. SCI is commonly caused by trauma experienced in a car accident or fall or by diseases, such as polio or spina bifida. Spinal cord injuries are very serious and can cause permanent disability in your trunk, limbs, or extremities and even a loss of involuntary motor function, such as breathing. SCI victims may experience weakness in the limbs, shortness of breath, numbness, complete or partial paralysis, tingling in the extremities, and bowel and bladder control problems. Some victims are rendered paraplegic or quadriplegic, losing motor function of their limbs or extremities for the rest of their lives. If you have suffered a spinal cord injury in car accident, it is imperative that you seek the advice of an experienced injury attorney immediately.

- False Claims Act

We will file your whistleblower action in Federal Court. When filed, it is kept secret from the public for a short time to give the United States Attorney General the opportunity to review the case and decide whether or not they will prosecute it for you, either way you still get paid. This is a great opportunity for anyone who has inside information regarding fraud upon the United States or its agencies.

- Proposed Cap on Pain & Suffering Damages

Any Proposed Federal Cap on pain and suffering damages punishes the innocent. I have been prosecuting medical malpractice cases for years and understand the medical profession's allegations that there is a connection between jury verdicts, so-called frivolous medical malpractice cases and high medical malpractice insurance.

- Insurance Bad Faith

Insurance companies offer insurance policies to protect policyholders from natural and other disasters that can be emotionally and financially devastating. Under your insurance policy, an insurance carrier is required to act in "good faith" toward you - the insured. When an insurance company fails to pay out a claim for no reason except to save money, it is said to be acting in "bad faith." Bad faith cases involve claims by an insured against his or her own insurance company for failing to pay a valid claim. Your insurance carrier has a duty to treat you fairly when assessing the validity of your claim. In addition, your insurance company has a duty to settle claims against you if it can do so within the coverage limit. If you have been subjected to a high judgment against you because your insurance company refused to settle, you should seek the advice of an experienced Cape Coral insurance bad faith attorney.

- Drunk Drivers

Drunk driving laws serve to punish impaired drivers who cause accidents, but criminal laws do nothing to compensate victims who are injured in drunk driving accidents. That's where Powell Law Offices, P.A., comes in. We help injury victims receive financial compensation for their injuries. Our experienced personal injury attorneys work diligently to maximize the compensation you will receive for your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and property damage.

The knowledgeable attorney at Powell Law Offices, P.A., have years of experience representing clients who are seriously injured in accidents involving large trucks. Tractor trailers can weigh over 80,000 pounds when fully loaded, creating an extremely dangerous situation when truck accidents involve smaller passenger vehicles. Drivers and passengers of cars, pickup trucks, motorcycles, and other vehicles involved in large truck accidents often suffer catastrophic injuries, such as spinal cord injury, brain injury, and burn injuries, while the truck driver walks away from the accident virtually unscathed. When the accident is caused by the negligence of a truck driver or trucking company, they should be held responsible for your injuries.

- School Bus Accidents

Over 23 million school-age children ride school buses each day in the U.S. It is therefore not surprising that school bus-related accidents send nearly 20,000 children to emergency rooms each year. Only 42% of school bus-related injuries are sustained in crashes, however. In fact, the majority of school bus injuries occur when children are boarding or exiting the school bus. Children may slip and fall while getting on or off the bus, passing motorists may fail to stop and hit children coming off the bus, or the bus driver may run a child over. In fact, it is estimated that two-thirds of all children killed while boarding or exiting a school bus are hit by the bus itself - not by another vehicle. Although most of school bus-related injuries are minor, school bus accidents can result in serious, catastrophic injuries or even death. If your child has been injured in a school bus accident, whatever the cause, you should seek the advice of an experienced accident lawyer.

- Slip & Fall

Slip and fall injuries can be severe, leaving victims with serious spinal cord injuries or traumatic brain injury that may lower the quality of their lives forever. A slip and fall accident may occur anywhere, including:

• Supermarkets
• Malls
• Hotels
• Office buildings
• Apartment buildings
• Private residences
• Sidewalks / parking lots

If you have fallen due to a hazardous condition at these or any other premises, you should immediately seek medical attention, report the incident to the property owner, and consult an experienced premises liability attorney.
