In the world of television, few shows have sparked as much conversation as "Severance." The dystopian thriller delves into the unsettling concept of separating work memories from personal ones, creating a sharp divide between professional and personal identities. While this might seem like an abstract concept, it has profound implications for real-world scenarios—especially in the realm of personal injury law.
Recently, my wife and I sat down to watch "Severance," and as we became engrossed in its narrative, I couldn’t help but draw parallels to my work as a personal injury attorney. The show made me reflect deeply on how personal injury victims experience a similar, albeit more subtle, severance in their lives—one that divides their existence into 'before' and 'after' the injury.
The Double Lives of Personal Injury Victims
In "Severance," characters lead double lives, unaware of their other selves. In personal injury cases, victims often experience a version of this dual existence. They must navigate their lives before and after the injury, often struggling to reconcile the two. The physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial burdens they endure can create a stark divide between their past and present selves.
Our approach at Mory & Colliersmith is to bridge this gap. We don’t just see a client as a case number; we see them as individuals whose lives have been upended. We strive to understand their journey, offering legal representation that considers the emotional and psychological toll of their injuries. This comprehensive approach is vital in ensuring they receive the compensation and support they need to heal fully.
The Role of Memory and Identity in Personal Injury Cases
"Severance" highlights the importance of memory and identity, themes that resonate deeply in personal injury law. Victims often deal with memory issues—whether due to head injuries, PTSD, or the trauma of the incident itself. These memory struggles can significantly impact their ability to testify, recall events, or even feel like themselves.
At our firm, we recognize the importance of these challenges. We work closely with medical professionals, therapists, and other experts to ensure that our clients’ mental and emotional well-being is fully addressed. This holistic approach not only helps in building a stronger legal case but also aids in the overall recovery process.
Ethical Considerations: The Duty to Treat Clients as Whole People
One of the most chilling aspects of "Severance" is the ethical questions it raises about treating individuals as mere cogs in a corporate machine. Similarly, in the legal world, it’s easy to reduce clients to mere legal issues, forgetting the human story behind each case.
At Mory & Colliersmith, we take our ethical duty seriously. We are committed to treating every client with dignity and respect, understanding that they are more than just their injury. We focus on the whole person, ensuring that our representation reflects their needs, desires, and long-term goals.

"Severance" is a stark reminder of the dangers of compartmentalizing our lives. At Mory & Colliersmith, we believe that personal injury law should be about more than just legal victories—it should be about helping clients regain their sense of self and navigate the difficult journey from injury to recovery.
