Catastrophic injuries include : head, spinal cord, back, neck injury, eye injury, brain damage, shoulder injury, foot injury and accidental amputation.

A catastrophic injury usually occurs suddenly and without warming.  Injuries that are considered catastrophic, due to the enormous impact they have on the lives of the individuals who experience them, include the following:

  • Brain injury
  • Spinal cord injury                                                                             
  • Accidental amputation
  • Severe burns
  • Multiple fractures
  • Neurological Disorders
  • Wrongful Death
  • Quadriplegia and paraplegia
  • Loss of limb
  • Loss of sight or hearing
  • Internal injuries or organ failure

A catastrophic injury often causes severe disruption to the central nervous system, which in turn affects many other systems of the body causing loss of movement, sensation, and communicative and cognitive skills.  Management of such an injury is complex and requires the expertise of a team of health professionals including physicians, consultants, nurses, therapists, and counselors.  Individuals may be fortunate to recover from some catastrophic injuries if they receive proper medical treatment, however others may experience permanent disability, significant suffering, and reduced life spans.

Catastrophic personal injury attorneyWe scour the nation to find recognized medical experts who will evaluate our clients carefully enough to be ready to present detailed diagnoses and life care plans for our clients with brain injuries.  Our goal is to obtain economic security that will last a lifetime for accident victims who now suffer from mild to severe head injury.

If catastrophic injury was caused by the negligent or intentional act of another, or by a dangerous or defective product, a personal injury claim by the victim will be an integral factor in determining his or her future quality of life including the quality of the medical care and financial recovery/support he or she will receive.  Because of the huge financial implications a catastrophic injury has, one of the most important aspects of bringing a personal injury claim is the determination of the value of such a claim.  A person whose earning capacity has been substantially impacted and who is likely facing a lifetime of care requires an experienced attorney, with specialized knowledge of his or her particular type of injury, to ensure that the injured person obtains all of the financial support he or she will need, possibly for decades to come.
