What Is Considered a Catastrophic Injury?
Determining whether an injury is catastrophic depends more on the effect of the injury than on the accident itself. For legal purposes, a catastrophic injury is a result of any serious calamity that leaves a victim:
In these situations, the pain and suffering extends for a long time after the event and possibly even for the victim’s entire life.
The most common cases our catastrophic injury attorneys handle include:
Do any of these sound familiar? You may be entitled to compensation from whoever is responsible for your accident. Even if you think you may be partially to blame, the law protects victims and it is worth investigating.
Spinal Cord Injury Help
Injury to the spinal cord caused by a car accident, a workplace injury, or a medical procedure often leaves a person in a state of semi-paralysis and may even cause death. The scientific and medical details involved in such a case can be complex, which is why it is crucial that you have competent, experienced legal representation at your side to fight for you through settlement negotiations or litigation.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
The injury attorneys at our firm have seen many types of spinal injuries and brain injuries during the decades that we’ve litigated spinal injury cases.
The more common causes of spinal injury include:
If you or someone you know was hurt in the spinal region, it is crucial to have a dedicated attorney by your side to get you compensation for your mental, emotional, physical, and financial suffering. Our spinal injury attorneys bring in top experts to help you assemble the facts and build a solid case to help alleviate some of your pain from this catastrophic experience.
Experienced Brain Injury Representation
The human brain is the center of all cognitive and neural functions. Without normal brain function, a person may face substantial emotional, physical, and mental challenges throughout life. A brain injury can impact interpersonal relationships and even the ability to maintain basic personal hygiene.
If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury, our team of catastrophic injury lawyers can fully investigate the cause of the injury, fight your legal battle, and hold accountable those who may be liable to pay compensation. Even if you can function properly and show few signs of damage, you may have a strong case against those who caused your injury because of the sensitive and traumatizing nature of brain injuries.
Signs of a Brain Injury
It’s common for someone to have a brain injury and remain unaware of its existence, its nature or its full extent. Our catastrophic injury lawyers have represented injured clients for a number of decades and this is familiar territory.
If you have been involved in an accident or undergone a medical procedure and you are disoriented or confused, or if something just doesn’t feel right, then you may be entitled to compensation as a brain injury victim. It is crucial to have dedicated lawyers by your side to research every angle and build a solid legal case to fight for you.
Many victims of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) may not recognize the signs. Some of the more common symptoms of a TBI include:
Without proper medical treatment, your symptoms could become permanent. If you or a loved one suffered a brain, spinal, or other catastrophic injury, you deserve a qualified advocate to get you compensation.
