What Qualifies as a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic or personal injury is any injury that leads to long-term damage. Incurring this kind of injury can prevent you from working, require extensive ongoing medical care, and result in a severe financial burden for your whole family. Lost wages, medical bills, and rehabilitation costs add up quickly, and you shouldn’t be responsible for paying them. Examples of a catastrophic or personal injury can include:
    • Spinal cord injuries
    • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
    • Severe burns
    • Amputation
    • Paralysis
    • Injuries sustained during a car accident
If your loved one didn’t survive their injury, you may qualify for a wrongful death lawsuit instead. A wrongful death case allows our legal team to pursue compensation that makes up for lost wages, funeral expenses, and other losses.

How Can I Afford a Personal Injury Attorney?

Our office can provide you with a free initial consultation. During this consultation, you can explain how you’ve been injured and discuss any financial hardship your injury has caused. We can then decide if you have a case. We also work on a contingency basis, meaning our fee is a reasonable percentage of your eventual verdict or settlement. We will never collect this fee until we have secured compensation. You could initially save money by representing yourself in court, but our lawyers know what they can do to secure the highest possible payout, and increase your chances of long-term financial stability, recovery, and success.
