We Help Injured Senior Citizens
As people age, their bodies are less able to deal with physical trauma. An accident that a young man might easily bounce back from, such as a simple slip and fall, could cause a severe injury to an elderly person.
For more than 40 years, the attorneys at the law firm of Shapiro, Galvin, Shapiro & Moran have represented injured senior citizens in accident cases. We know the nuances that are involved when a victim is an elderly person. We know the steps to take to pursue fair compensation.
What Type of Accident Caused the Injury?
The most common example of an accident that may cause serious injury for an elderly person is a slip and fall. When a senior citizen slips and falls on a wet floor, or trips over an uneven surface, it could result in injuries that require serious medical attention.
Elderly victims of falling accidents may require joint replacement surgery, such as hip replacement surgery or shoulder replacement surgery.
Our lawyers can handle slip and falls, car accidents and all other types of accidents that involve senior citizens.
Handling Accident Cases Involving Injured Senior Citizens
When a case involves a senior citizen, the opposition may resort to interesting defense tactics. They may actually blame the victim. For example, they may say that a spontaneous hip injury caused a fall, rather than vice versa. Our experience allows us to be ready for this or any other typical defense.
This is where the use of experts can be critical. We will bring in experts on biomechanics and other areas to analyze the details of the accident. We will get all of the facts. We will use them to position your case for success.
