In cases involving
wrongful death and catastrophic injury,
2
00:00:08.557 --> 00:00:11.000
lives have been changed forever.
3
00:00:11.218 --> 00:00:14.645
And so you need an attorney
who's had experience with this
4
00:00:14.991 --> 00:00:18.258
and can really
build the story from the ground up.
5
00:00:18.475 --> 00:00:21.461
In wrongful death
and catastrophic injury cases,
6
00:00:21.462 --> 00:00:24.200
they are easily the most
traumatic that we have.
7
00:00:24.508 --> 00:00:27.617
Families often don't
even know where to start,
8
00:00:27.758 --> 00:00:30.431
so it's important to have
an experienced lawyer
9
00:00:30.650 --> 00:00:35.343
who can help actually be a part
of the healing that's going on there.
10
00:00:35.344 --> 00:00:39.132
From the beginning, we're going to
gather the information necessary
11
00:00:39.133 --> 00:00:42.129
and find out what happened,
get answers for the family,
12
00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:44.570
and hopefully get recovery that,
13
00:00:44.571 --> 00:00:47.900
although it will never replace
the loss of a loved one,
14
00:00:47.901 --> 00:00:51.286
it will at least put the family
in a better position than they were.
15
00:00:51.700 --> 00:00:55.440
It's important to have a lawyer because
first and foremost,
16
00:00:55.470 --> 00:01:02.700
you've lost someone, either through death
or through a life-altering injury,
17
00:01:03.417 --> 00:01:07.480
and you need to have an attorney that's
able to find out why,
18
00:01:07.642 --> 00:01:13.557
ask the questions, and ultimately hold
those who are responsible accountable.
19
00:01:13.967 --> 00:01:16.618
And so often what we find is that
20
00:01:17.058 --> 00:01:20.008
there may be
a large corporation behind it,
21
00:01:20.171 --> 00:01:25.032
and you really need to
pierce that corporate entity
22
00:01:25.033 --> 00:01:28.541
and figure out
who's responsible and what went wrong,
23
00:01:28.792 --> 00:01:31.957
which ultimately led to
the death or catastrophic injury.
24
00:01:32.383 --> 00:01:36.108
The number one thing that people can
expect from Cochran Douglas
25
00:01:36.109 --> 00:01:40.933
working on a catastrophic injury
or death case is compassion.
26
00:01:41.908 --> 00:01:43.680
We're here to listen.
27
00:01:44.217 --> 00:01:47.483
We understand that this
is more than a claim.
28
00:01:48.050 --> 00:01:53.280
This is more than an attorney's
opportunity to make big money.
29
00:01:53.708 --> 00:01:56.692
But this is a real loss
that's been suffered.
30
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.717
And so we're there to listen,
and then we're there to get answers,
31
00:02:00.718 --> 00:02:04.920
to ask the who, what, and why.
Why did this happen?
32
00:02:05.333 --> 00:02:09.733
And ultimately try and help that family
put the pieces back together.
