What is a Catastrophic Injury?
A catastrophic injury is a serious injury that results in loss of limb or physical function, loss of mental ability, or chronic debilitating pain. After a catastrophic injury, victims are often unable to return to their jobs — they may require vocational rehabilitation to be able to work at all.
Our firm handles serious injury claims involving:
- Head and brain injuries including those due to lack of oxygen to the brain and those caused by a blow to the head.
- Traumatic brain injuries ranging from mild to moderate to severe. The ramifications can include memory loss, cognitive impairment, and personality changes.
- Neck & Back Injuries: These can range from debilitating disc injuries to paralysis.
- Electrocution Injuries: Electrical accidents can result in internal and external burns throughout the body.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: When the spinal cord is damaged paralysis (paraplegia, hemiplegia, quadriplegia) can change your life forever.
- Broken Bones/Internal Injury: Severe fractures and damage to organs can require multiple surgeries and long periods of rehabilitation.
- Burn Injuries: Accidental fires, explosions, electrical charge and chemical exposure are some of the causes of burn injuries. Recovery can be long and painful, often requiring skin grafts and reconstructive surgery.
- Auto Defect Injuries: Very specific types of injuries are linked to certain types of auto defects.
- Work Machine Injuries: Power tools, vehicles and industrial machinery can all lead to serious injuries and death.
- Sexual Assault/Inadequate Security: A property owner's negligence may have contributed to the attack that injured you.
- Wrongful Death: Our lawyers represent the survivors of those who died because of another's negligence or carelessness.
- Life Care Planning: We consult with medical experts and economists to determine the life-time costs of catastrophic injuries.
