Catastrophic Injury

While any injury can affect your life, catastrophic injuries have particularly devastating effects. In the legal world, catastrophic injuries are those that result in long-term or even permanent damage and have profound, life-altering effects on the victim and their family. The effects of a catastrophic injury often extend beyond the injured person, as family, friends, and others close to the victim may also suffer emotionally and financially.

If you or someone you love suffered a catastrophic injury because of someone else’s negligent or wrongful conduct, you and your family might be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, the cost of future medical expenses, lost quality of life, pain and suffering, and more.
