Is It Worth It to Hire a Catastrophic Injury Attorney?

What is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is defined as any injury that causes serious physical, financial, or emotional pain to you or your family.

If your life, or the dynamics of your family, are dramatically changed because of an injury caused by somebody else’s negligence or misconduct, you may be entitled to recover compensation for your loss and suffering. We are here to help.

Types of Catastrophic Injuries

These are four of the most common catastrophic injuries:

Spinal Cord Injuries

When the spinal cord is damaged, it can result in the victim becoming paralyzed. Depending on the severity of the injury, the paralysis can be partial or total, impacting either the lower extremities only or the arms and legs. This means the victim will lose function in the affected area below the point of the injury.

Burn Injuries

Fires, explosions, electrocutions, and other types of accidents can cause a victim to sustain burn injuries. The most severe burns can leave the skin with a leathery feel and can go deeper into the layers of the body, impacting tissue, muscle, and nerves. This often requires long-term treatment including surgery or skin grafts.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

These are more common than most people think and are the result of sudden impact or trauma to the head. This can occur in a car crash, a motorcycle accident, an act of violence, or any type of fall from a height. These types of injuries can include loss of consciousness, memory loss, cognitive issues, problems regarding bodily function, and more.

Amputations

When an injury to a specific body part is so severe that it loses blood circulation or becomes mangled, it may require amputation so the rest of the extremity or body is not affected. In some cases, the incident itself can cause the loss of a body part, such as the severing of a foot, arm, or hand.

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injury

People who suffer a catastrophic injury rarely see it coming. One minute you're going about your life, the next thing you know you've been horribly injured. While some catastrophic injuries are truly accidental, many others could have been prevented if an individual, corporation, or other entity acted responsibly.

Some of the most common causes of catastrophic injuries are:

• Motor vehicle accidents involving cars, trucks, and motorcycles
• Falls from heights, particularly construction accidents
• Mistakes by a surgeon or other healthcare professional
• Intentional acts of violence
• Explosions

The experienced catastrophic injury lawyers at Strong-Garner-Bauer P.C. can help you understand why your accident occurred, who is responsible, and how you can secure the financial compensation you need to recover from your injury. We encourage you to schedule a free consultation with our team so that we address your specific situation and provide guidance.

Compensation for Catastrophic Injury Claims

Catastrophic injuries are often the result of someone else’s negligence, which means the victim may have a right to take legal action against the negligent party. If you have sustained a catastrophic injury, you may be able to seek compensation from the liable individuals for:

• the costs associated with the injury,
• including current and future medical expenses,
• rehabilitation costs,
• lost income, and more.

Receiving the full compensation you need can be a challenge if you don’t have the right legal representation on your side. You need committed and passionate lawyers in your corner for the best chance at success.

Filing a Claim for a Catastrophic Injury

To present a successful personal injury case at trial, your claim may need to include the testimony and data of several expert witnesses who can analyze complex situations in their respective fields – including engineering, metallurgy, accident reconstruction, biomechanics, forensic pathology, medical causation, or lost earning capacity, and life-care planning.
