Woodland Hills, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/12/2010 -- Auto accidents are the cause of severe and sometimes life-threatening injuries. “Many auto accidents occur because of the negligence of others,” stated Robert A. Brenner, a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles, California. Some of the most serious auto accidents cause catastrophic injuries like amputations, damage to the spine, and head trauma. These types of debilitating injuries are the focus of Brenner’s practice.

Brenner has been practicing personal injury law for over three decades. His experience with victims of serious injuries has been extensive. Not only has he been a legal advocate, but he also has been dedicated to providing victims with helpful information about their injuries. Brenner’s Web site www.Catastrophicinjury.com offers a medical guide about catastrophic injuries, a list of rehabilitation centers, and information about a victim’s legal rights.

Minor auto accidents do not usually result in serious injuries and people usually recover quickly. “It is the serious accidents,” said Brenner, “that require substantial medical treatment.” Often an auto accident victim must not only find a way to pay for the medical treatment they need, but they must also find a way to support themselves financially. “Most often,” stated Brenner, “when the injuries are so severe that the person is no longer able to work, it is often necessary to recover compensation from the person at fault.” Most claims involve auto insurance companies.

Brenner’s job is to help his clients recover compensation for the injuries they sustained. “Compensation should provide for medical treatment, lost income, and pain and suffering,” stated Brenner. In personal injury cases, attorneys use experts to calculate damages. Compensation not only includes reimbursement for past medical treatment and lost wages, but a damage award will include an amount for future medical treatment. In this situation, for example, an attorney will use a life care planner to calculate the cost of prospective medical care. “It is really important to employ experts that know what they are doing because it is the client that will suffer if the damage award is insufficient,” remarked Brenner. Personal injury attorneys like Brenner have years of experience using the assistance of experts to determine damage awards.
