Experience with Ohio and Michigan Injury Victims

The Toledo personal injury lawyers of Gallon, Takacs, Boissoneault & Schaffer have experience representing clients in a wide variety of injury claims, including those involving:

  • Vision and hearing loss: Being exposed to a loud noise in an accident or being struck in the eyes by objects or fragments, such as metal or glass, can lead to permanent vision and hearing loss.
  • Fractures: These injuries can be placed in two broad categories – closed (the bone doesn’t penetrate the skin) and open (the bone breaks through the skin). Depending on the type of fracture, it may lead to temporary or permanent disability. On one end of the scale are hairline (or stress) fractures, which are small cracks in the bone that do not alter the bone’s alignment. On the more severe end of the scale are comminuted fractures (crushing), transverse/oblique fractures (where the bone breaks at an angle) and compression fractures (the compression of bones in the vertebrae, or spine).
  • Amputations: These injuries may occur as the result of blunt force or may be necessitated during a surgical procedure in order to save an accident victim’s life. The amputation of an arm, hand, finger, leg, foot or toe can prevent one from working, require prosthetics and lead to lifelong pain.
  • Crushing injuries: These injuries result from a body part being crushed between two objects, and they can result in serious internal and external injuries, including broken bones, torn ligaments, nerve damage, punctured organs and, in the most severe cases, death.
  • Back and spinal cord injuries: The impact from a car, truck or motorcycle accident, or the result of a fall from a ladder, scaffolding or crane at a construction site, may produce a debilitating back and spinal cord injury.
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI): A sudden blow to the head, a fall, violent shaking or electrical shock can produce traumatic brain injury. Symptoms include headaches, fatigue, memory loss, dizziness, depression and sensitivity to noise and light. In the most serious cases, TBI can lead to personality changes, coma or death.
  • Burns: An explosion, fire or electrocution can result in permanent disfigurement.
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): This anxiety disorder is triggered by being exposed to a traumatic event, such as a car, truck or motorcycle accident or by an injury in a workplace or nursing home.
