Catastrophic Injury

Catastrophic injuries are injuries that are extremely severe, often resulting in permanent damage, long-term care and disruption of bodily systems. Examples of catastrophic injury include: spinal cord damage, paraplegia (paralysis of both lower limbs), quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs or from the neck down), traumatic brain injury, severe burns, coma, multiple fractures and amputation, to name a few.

Loss of mobility, sensation, cognitive ability, and communication skills as well as respiration, circulation, digestive, and urinary tract difficulties are possible physical impairments that may result from a catastrophic injury.

The costs involved in catastrophic injury are often astronomical because of the extensive medical needs, rehabilitative and assistive care as well as structural modifications to the home and vehicle. When catastrophic injury has occurred through the negligence of another individual or business, hiring a personal injury lawyer is your best recourse toward attaining the compensation you are entitled by law to receive. Through resources such as physicians, therapists, economists, and other professional experts, our personal injury attorney will not only substantiate evidence of your injury, but also will arrive at accurate estimates to provide for future care, lost income and other financial factors that need to be considered. Not to mention, proving liability may often be challenging, and there is no substitute for lawyers with comprehensive knowledge, broad experience and a long string of legal successes in handling catastrophic injury cases.
