    Calculating Damages for a Permanent Disability

    Wade Byrd has represented numerous victims of catastrophic accidents in 25 years of civil litigation practice. He fights to achieve full damages for life-changing injuries:

    We help clients get quality medical care to assess the full extent of the injury and the potential for recovery. We then work with a variety of professionals to calculate the rightful compensation: vocational specialists who determine what (if any) work our client can perform, economists who project lost earnings over the remaining lifespan, and life care planners who help put a dollar figure on future surgeries, nursing care, medical equipment and remodeling to accommodate the permanent disability.

    Our demand package also includes damages for living with a permanent disability — the physical pain and suffering and the emotional pain of reduced quality of life. We stand up to the insurance companies and the negligent parties, taking cases all the way to trial when necessary to achieve justice for our clients.
