Types of Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries are severe, life-changing conditions that often result in permanent disability or require extensive, ongoing medical care. These injuries go beyond typical accident injuries and fundamentally alter a person's ability to function independently.
Our firm works with cases involving severe injuries like:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Damage to the brain can cause cognitive impairment, memory loss, personality changes, and physical disabilities ranging from mild to severe.
- Spinal cord injuries. Damage to the spinal cord can result in partial or complete paralysis, affecting mobility, sensation, and bodily functions below the injury site.
- Severe burns. Third-degree or extensive burns require multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and can lead to permanent scarring, disfigurement, and chronic pain.
- Amputations. Loss of limbs or digits often requires prosthetics, extensive rehabilitation, and significant adjustments to daily life and employment.
- Multiple fractures or crush injuries. Complex bone breaks or crushing trauma may result in chronic pain, limited mobility, and the need for ongoing medical intervention.
- Organ damage. Severe internal injuries to vital organs require transplants, long-term medical management, or result in permanent loss of function.
- Severe vision or hearing loss. Permanent sensory impairments can drastically affect quality of life, employment prospects, and independence.
These injuries often require a lifetime of medical care, adaptive equipment, and home modifications, and can lead to significant lost earning capacity. Our team works with medical professionals and financial analysts to calculate the true cost of your catastrophic injury so that your settlement reflects not just current needs, but future care as well.
