Catastrophic Injuries

Fair and Just Compensation for Your Catastrophic Injuries

Traumatic Brain Injury ● Burns ● Paralysis ● Paraplegia ● Quadriplegia

Suffering a serious permanent injury changes your life forever. Given the long-term affects of these injuries, you are entitled to adequate and fair compensation to cover your expenses for the remainder of your life. At the Law Offices of David Henderson, we have represented many people who have sustained life-changing injuries such as spinal cord damage, disfiguring scars, or traumatic brain injury.

In most of these accidents, the injuries are obvious but the long-term consequences are not. These consequences need to be carefully evaluated to be sure that all future losses are considered and itemized. People suffering a spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, amputation, a burn, or other serious injury will require ongoing medical treatment and personal care. They will never get their pre-accident life back.

Attorney David Henderson has the necessary resources to hire competent economists, physical capacity experts, vocational rehabilitation experts, physicians, and other professionals to provide critical advice and opinions. We work on a percentage, or contingency-fee, basis. We front the cost of these crucial experts. We will spend what is needed to prove the particular damages you suffered.

Professional Representation ▪ Personal Results

Dealing with a closed head injury, traumatic brain injury, or other debilitating injury takes an emotional toll on you and your family. Understanding the stress you are already under, we try to answer your questions promptly and professionally handle your case. It is important for us to understand the emotional, physical, and economic consequences of your accident. Proving these consequences to a jury or the insurance company evaluating your claim is crucial in obtaining a fair and just monetary award.

You can claim compensation for the serious injuries you suffered because of another's negligence.

Wrongful Death ▪ Comfort for the Loss of a Loved One

When a loved one dies unexpectedly, family members are always left in a state of shock. It is not easy to imagine that your loved one died as a result of another person’s negligence. When this has happened in Alaska, you and your family may be entitled to compensation in a wrongful death case. If you suffered the loss of a loved one, contact the Law Offices of David Henderson. 

Proving Damages for a Person's Wrongful Death

It is obvious that you have suffered a great deal of pain and suffering as well as financial losses from the death of a family member, but you must prove the amount of those losses and that the death resulted from another's negligence.

Fair and just compensation can’t be obtained for your family unless the fault of the wrongdoer and each element of your damages are clearly proven to the insurance company or a jury. Attorney Henderson has represented families suffering such losses due to aviation accidents, maritime accidents, medical negligence, auto accidents, and drunk driving accidents.

How can a lawyer put into numbers the emotional toll you suffered because of the death of a spouse or child? We will sit down with you and your family to evaluate the losses to which you are entitled under Alaska law. We look at the economic, emotional, and personal losses. Our wrongful death lawyer has the experience necessary to quantify all of your losses to the insurance company or jury evaluating your loss.

The Pain and Suffering of a Loved One

The law provides for additional compensation if your loved one experienced pain and anguish before death. We seek, and juries often award, fair and just compensation for even brief periods of fear, pain, suffering, or anguish. Understand that monetary damages are intended not only to compensate you for your loss, but also to serve as a deterrent to careless people or companies. Our wrongful death lawyer will advise you of your options.

At the Law Offices of David Henderson, we work with some of the best experts in the nation to prove your case. Experts in accident reconstruction, forensics, medicine, and economics may all be employed to help support your case.
