Catastrophic injuries have devastating effects on those injured and on their family members. No amount of preparation can prepare a person for the long-term medical consequences of a catastrophic injury. A catastrophic injury includes injuries to the spinal cord, accidental amputation, severe burns, multiple fractures, or neurological disorders.

“Catastrophic injury victims and their family often become overwhelmed with the medical costs associated with treating their injuries,” said Los Angeles, California attorney Robert A. Brenner, founder of the Catastrophic Injury Law Group, which is comprised of a nationwide group of attorneys dedicated to the representation of catastrophic injury victims. “Costly treatment may include rehabilitation and care from therapists and specialists. Unfortunately, people fail to realize that when someone else is at fault for their injuries, this financial burden is not theirs alone.”

Brenner launched the Catastrophic Resource Center as an online source for victims and their families to learn more about catastrophic injuries and their legal rights. The center offers a medical care guide, a legal guide, a list of rehabilitation centers and support groups, and a forum dedicated to the discussion of catastrophic injuries.

“It is important for people to understand their legal rights,” said Brenner. “Personal injury law provides various remedies that include monetary recovery for someone else’s negligence or workers’ compensation benefits if the injury is work-related. A person suffering from a catastrophic injury may recover an award for past and future medical costs, rehabilitation, lost earnings, and pain and suffering.”

UNITED WE SIT

This holiday season, The Dock Downtown is uniting with L.A. Family Housing to welcome families home again. Between November 1 and December 23, for every sofa purchased
at The Dock Downtown, the store will donate a new upholstered chair to a family in need.

The Dock Downtown is a high-end home furnishing retailer located just east of the Artists’ Loft District in downtown Los Angeles. The store sells made-to-order upholstered and wood furniture and overstock designer home furnishings and gifts for up to 80% off retail. Throughout the year, The Dock Downtown is committed to offering well-made, well designed furniture to its customers. But during the holidays, the company is extending that commitment to those who are less fortunate.

Says owner Ali Ferber Peters, “Our business is about helping people make their homes warm, beautiful and comforting. No one needs that more than families transitioning out of homelessness. By offering this promotion, we can partner with our customers to make a real difference. Together we can help local families rebuild their lives.”

The upholstered leather chairs valued at $495 each will be distributed to families through L.A. Family Housing, a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to aiding homeless families and individuals improve the quality of their lives by providing housing and supportive services.

President of L.A. Family Housing Stephanie Klasky-Gamer elaborates on what the chairs will mean to the program. “When families lose their home, we work hard to help them retain their dignity. Offering them beautiful, new furniture brings the comforts of home to them in our shelters. It is a symbol of respect for the families during a challenging time.”

The Dock Downtown is proud to join L.A. Family Housing in its commitment to social justice and building a better community for all. Now holiday shoppers can join this effort too.

Buy a couch. The Dock Downtown will donate a chair. L.A. Family Housing will give it to a local family in need.

United we stand. And, more importantly, united we sit.
