Alpharetta Personal Injury Lawyer
Many people can live a lifetime without ever being involved in a serious accident resulting in an injury. Other people are not as fortunate. When an accident or negligence results in a personal injury, an experienced attorney can be critical. At Stokes & Kopitsky, P.A., our Alpharetta personal injury lawyers have the experience to win compensation for our clients and the dedication to fully understand and support those who have been injured. With more than 30 years of experience, our clients’ trust in us is well-placed.
PERSONAL INJURIES: INSIDE THE NUMBERS
There are two key factors to look at prior to obtaining legal counsel for a personal injury: experience with the type of injury that was suffered and experience with the type of accident which caused the injury. At Stokes & Kopitsky, P.A., we have both.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, accidental or unintentional injury was the leading cause of death in all age groups between the ages of 1 and 44. Among those 45 to 54, unintentional injury was the third overall cause of death and it was the fifth-leading cause of death among 55- to 64-year-olds. In those 65 or older, accidental death due to injury placed ninth after a number of disease states, as might be expected.
The CDC’s mortality chart tells us that accidental personal injury is a very serious matter nationwide. The CDC reports that in 2011, unintentional injury resulted in more than 30 million people seeking medical treatment. This translates to 9,735 people who are accidentally injured per 100,000 in population. Clearly, this is a significant issue.
At our law firm we have experience with many types of injuries, including the following:
- Bone injuries, including breaks, fractures, dislocations and crush injuries
- Burn injuries, including scalding and chemical burns
- Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Internal injuries, including internal bleeding, blunt trauma, penetrating injuries and organ failure
- Spinal cord injuries, including paralysis
