- Disfigurement — Facial scars or altered appearance can have a profound psychological impact, especially for children.
Making the Case for Comprehensive Compensation
The insurance company or a jury has to comprehend your injuries not simply as medical bills but as physical pain, financial hardships, emotional heartache and reduced quality of life. This is where Gordon McKernan and his legal team excel. We work with medical professionals, life care planners, economists, vocational rehabilitation specialists and other professionals to lay out a compelling case for full and fair monetary damages for our clients.
We use testimony of friends and family, day-in-the-life videos and other documentation to bring home the profound and lasting impact of a permanent injury. We know that our clients have one shot to be compensated for ongoing medical care and rehab, special services or disability accommodations, replacement of projected earnings, pain and suffering, and lost enjoyment of life.
If you are from a small town, it may not always be possible to get the best medical care. The McKernan Law Firm has a statewide and nationwide network of medical specialists and experts at top hospitals and academic institutions, and we sometimes fly clients with life-changing injuries to the best medical centers in the United States to benefit from cutting-edge therapies and treatment modalities.
