When life unexpectedly turns due to an injury, it can disrupt every aspect of your daily routine. Whether it’s a car accident, a workplace mishap, or a slip and fall, injuries caused by negligence can leave you facing physical, emotional, and financial challenges.

At The Johnson Injury Firm, we are committed to helping injury victims seek justice and obtain the compensation they deserve.

Below, we outline the most common types of injuries we handle and how we can support your recovery.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) are among the most severe injuries we encounter. These result from a sudden impact, jolt, or penetration to the head, often caused by car accidents, falls, or assaults.

The effects of a TBI can range from mild concussions to life-altering impairments such as memory loss, seizures, or even loss of cognitive function. Victims often face long-term medical care, including rehabilitation therapies and psychological support.

In Virginia, TBI victims may face challenges in obtaining fair compensation, especially when dealing with insurance companies that attempt to minimize payouts. That’s where we step in.

Our legal team collaborates with medical experts to accurately assess the extent of your injuries and build a strong case for maximum recovery. If you or a loved one has suffered a TBI, trust us to provide the legal advocacy and resources you need to rebuild your life.

Concussion

Often dismissed as a “minor” injury, concussions are a form of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) that can have serious consequences if left untreated. They occur due to a blow to the head or a violent shaking of the body, which disrupts brain function.

Common symptoms include headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and sensitivity to light or noise. In some cases, symptoms may not appear immediately, so it is essential to monitor the victim closely in the hours and days following the injury.

Recovery from a concussion typically involves rest and avoiding activities that could cause additional strain on the brain. However, repeated concussions or untreated injuries can lead to long-term effects like chronic headaches or cognitive issues.

At The Johnson Injury Firm, we understand the complexities of these cases and work diligently to ensure you receive fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and the emotional toll of your injury.

Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injuries are among the most devastating injuries a person can experience, often resulting in partial or complete paralysis. These injuries typically occur due to severe trauma from car accidents, falls, or acts of violence.

The effects of a spinal cord injury depend on the location and severity of the damage. Injuries higher on the spinal cord may cause quadriplegia, while lower injuries might result in paraplegia.

Victims often require lifelong medical care, including physical therapy, assistive devices, and modifications to their homes. These injuries’ financial and emotional burdens can be overwhelming, but legal recourse can help alleviate some of these challenges.

The Johnson Injury Firm is committed to securing compensation to cover medical costs, lost earning potential, and pain and suffering. We advocate tirelessly for spinal cord injury victims to help them regain independence and a sense of normalcy.

Herniated Disc

A herniated disc occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes through its tougher outer layer, often compressing nearby nerves. This injury can result from car accidents, falls, or repetitive strain.

Depending on the location of the herniated disc, symptoms include severe back pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the limbs. Left untreated, it can lead to chronic pain and mobility issues.

Treatment options vary from physical therapy and medication to more invasive interventions like spinal injections or surgery. At The Johnson Injury Firm, we work closely with medical professionals to document the impact of your injury and advocate for your right to compensation. From covering medical bills to addressing lost income, we fight for a settlement or verdict that helps you focus on your recovery instead of financial stress.

Amputation

The loss of a limb through amputation is a life-changing event that requires significant physical and emotional adjustment. Amputations can result from catastrophic accidents, such as car crashes, workplace incidents, or medical negligence. In addition to the trauma of losing a limb, victims often face complications like phantom pain, infections, and the challenges of learning to use prosthetics.

Rehabilitation and assistive technology can help amputees regain independence, but these resources are often expensive. At The Johnson Injury Firm, we are dedicated to holding negligent parties accountable for the damages they cause.

We work tirelessly to secure compensation for medical expenses, prosthetic devices, lost income, and pain and suffering. With our support, you can focus on adapting to your new circumstances while we handle the legal complexities of your case.

Broken Bones

Broken bones, or fractures, are common injuries in accidents such as car crashes, slips and falls, or workplace mishaps. Fractures can range from minor hairline breaks to severe compound fractures that require surgical intervention.

Symptoms often include pain, swelling, bruising, and an inability to move the affected area. Recovery times vary depending on the type and severity of the fracture, with some requiring weeks of immobilization or months of physical therapy.

Beyond the physical pain, broken bones can lead to financial strain due to medical bills, lost wages, and extended recovery periods. At The Johnson Injury Firm, we work with medical experts to evaluate the impact of your injury and calculate the full extent of your damages.

We aim to ensure you receive compensation that covers all your medical, financial, and personal needs so you can focus on healing without additional stress.

Knee Injury

Knee injuries are debilitating and can significantly affect your ability to perform everyday tasks. These injuries commonly result from sports activities, slip and falls, or motor vehicle accidents.

Damage to the ligaments, tendons, or cartilage can cause severe pain, swelling, and instability. Common types of knee injuries include ACL tears, meniscus injuries, and fractures, each requiring a unique treatment approach.

Rehabilitation and, in some cases, surgical intervention is necessary for recovery, but the process can be lengthy and costly. If someone else’s negligence caused your knee injury, you have the right to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and the emotional impact of your injury.

At The Johnson Injury Firm, we are dedicated to helping knee injury victims recover the financial support they need to regain mobility and return to their daily lives.

Paralysis

Paralysis is a life-altering condition that results from damage to the nervous system, often caused by spinal cord injuries, traumatic accidents, or medical malpractice. Paralysis can be partial or complete, affecting specific areas of the body or leading to total immobility.

Beyond the physical challenges, paralysis often comes with emotional distress and a significant financial burden, including medical expenses, home modifications, and loss of income.

At The Johnson Injury Firm, we understand the profound impact paralysis has on victims and their families. Our legal team works to secure compensation that reflects the full scope of your damages, including the costs of medical care, assistive devices, and long-term support.

We also collaborate with medical professionals to provide expert testimony that strengthens your case. With us by your side, you can focus on adapting to your new reality while we fight for justice on your behalf.

Torn Tendon

Torn tendons can occur from acute injuries, overuse, or traumatic events like car accidents or falls. These injuries often affect the shoulders, knees, or elbows and can result in pain, swelling, and loss of mobility. Severe tears may require surgical repair followed by months of physical therapy to regain strength and flexibility.

Living with a torn tendon can make even simple daily tasks difficult, leading to lost income and mounting medical bills. At The Johnson Injury Firm, we work tirelessly to ensure you’re compensated for all aspects of your injury, including treatment costs, rehabilitation, and time away from work.

Our team is committed to holding negligent parties accountable so you can focus on your recovery without the financial strain.

Spinal Fusion

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure often performed to treat severe back injuries or degenerative spinal conditions. It involves joining two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine, which can alleviate pain and restore some functionality.

While this procedure can be life-changing for those with chronic back pain, it comes with its challenges, including lengthy recovery times and potential complications.

If your injury necessitated spinal fusion due to someone else’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to bear the financial burden alone. The Johnson Injury Firm is here to help. We collaborate with medical experts to assess the full impact of your injury and ensure you receive compensation for surgical costs, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.
