Catastrophic Injury

Wrongful death, traumatic brain injury, quadriplegia, amputation, and severe burns are among the conditions commonly referred to as Catastrophic Injury. These types of injuries can be devastating, upending not only the life of the person injured but of families and loved ones alike.  

Our trial attorneys vigorously pursue these cases oftentimes after other lawyers or law firms have told a person or family that there is “no case.”  Our trial lawyers have expertise in finding and retaining the right experts, including medical doctors who can adequately describe the nature of the injuries.  Over the past decade, Oliver Maner has been a part of some of the biggest catastrophic injury cases in the State of Georgia.  Because of the broad spectrum of legal expertise within the Firm, our lawyers can also help with issues related to guardianships, medical bills, credit reporting services, and many others.  Many of our past clients have benefitted from Oliver Maner’s “full-service” law firm approach to these cases.
