Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries are injuries that result in devastating harm to the victim. They include injuries that produce brain damage, paralysis, severe burns, amputation, marked disfigurement, post-traumatic stress, severe poisoning or any other injury which has a profound and prolonged adverse impact on the victim.
Catastrophic injuries can occur for a variety of reasons including vehicular accidents, airplane crashes, defective products, medical malpractice, electrocution, or environmental pollution. These injuries produce adverse physical, mental, and emotional consequences and are life-altering for the victims and their families. Future medical care for catastrophically injured victims can cost millions of dollars.
In order to properly present a claim for catastrophic injuries to a jury, a variety of experts may need to be employed. A wide range of medical experts may need to be involved, including neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, orthopedists, pathologists, physiatrists and psychiatrists. In addition, highly trained personnel with specialized training in accident reconstruction, safety engineering, life-care planning, and economics may need to be employed.
Our lawyers have substantial experience in representing victims of catastrophic injuries and have worked with a wide variety of experts in presenting our client’s claims to juries around the country.
