Crush Injuries
Philadelphia Personal Injury Attorneys Serving the Injured Since 1992
Crush injuries occur when an object causes compression of the body or a part of the body. They can happen in many different ways with greatly varied causes, such as dog bites, construction equipment accidents, or motor vehicle collisions.
No matter their causes, crush injuries can be catastrophic. They can include:
- Severe cuts and bruises
- Bone fractures
- Nerve injury/paralysis
- Soft tissue damage
- Internal bleeding
- Internal organ damage
Depending on how extreme crush injuries are, they may require the surgical amputation of the affected limb or extremity. Some crush injuries can prove fatal, particularly if the trunk or head are involved. Crush injuries to the spine or neck can cause paralysis.
If you or someone you love has been injured, do not wait to talk to a Philadelphia personal injury lawyer at Marciano & MacAvoy, P.C. Crush injuries require immediate medical attention, and possibly ongoing care. Surgery, assistive devices, medication, and physical therapy may be needed to restore form and function, but there is also the possibility that permanent disabilities or loss of limb may result. A skilled attorney can help you seek fair compensation to cover all of your care.

"I have had the privilege of connecting with Kevin Marciano on many matters as an attorney. Additionally, I have referred his firm multiple people who were in need of his services. He has obtained great results for these referred individuals and through the entire process has been very accessible and calming."

"After been paralyzed from the neck down because of a drunk driver, Kevin Marciano was my last hope. Kevin fought very hard for me and kept me advised of every aspect of the case. Because of the settlement, I am living in a home that I purchased rather than in a nursing home. I have some of my life back."
- Client
"Kevin and Pat represented me in my fall off a ladder. The money I received will let me live in a place where I can move and get around. Also, while I am still badly injured, I know I will not have to worry about money again."
- Client
Kevin and Patrick were amazing to work with and a God send to us in our time of need. They especially had to work even harder during COVID-19 to make a safe way to put our troubles to a smooth and safe finish. They were caring and understanding to our personal situation in the health and well being of our son who was hit by a car. This recommendation was priceless. We are most fortunate that our son's life was spared, but their help to give him back his life will never be forgotten! Thank you Kevin and Patrick and the rest of your team!
