Catastrophic Injury Cases We Represent
Our firm represents injured individuals in the most severe injury cases, including, but not limited to:
Traumatic Brain Injuries
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can leave an innocent individual with reduced cognitive abilities, mobility issues, coma, emotional and behavioral changes, memory loss, seizures, motor skills impairments, paralysis, sensory losses, and other life-altering consequences.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Damage to the spinal cord is a devastating injury, leading to paraplegia or quadriplegia, loss of motor function, bladder and bowel dysfunction, inability to breathe without medical support, cascading physical problems, and a shorter lifespan.
Toxic Exposure
Exposure to toxic substances can lead to life-altering injuries, including COPD, pulmonary fibrosis (scarring of lung tissue), lung failure, lung cancer, neuropathy, development disorders in children, liver damage, liver cancer, chemical burns, kidney disease or failure, cognitive impairments, neurological disorders, reproductive issues or in the most tragic cases, loss of life.
Amputations
Injuries that involve lost limbs—which can impact the feet, legs, arms, or hands—leave the individual facing acute and chronic pain, mobility problems, and psychological consequences such as depression, anxiety, grief, emotional changes, feelings of isolation, and reduced earning capacity, alongside numerous long-term health problems.
Birth Injuries
Medical errors, malpractice, or negligence during the birthing process can cause a number of catastrophic injuries. These may include cerebral palsy and brain injuries caused by oxygen deprivation that result in cognitive impairments, intellectual disabilities, and developmental delays.
Medical Malpractice Cases
Medical malpractice can cause various catastrophic injuries. Surgical errors, the misdiagnosis of a severe medical condition, a failure to diagnose, and medication errors can potentially cause tragic issues like organ failure, severe infection, vision or hearing loss, sepsis, permanent impairment, or death.
Disfiguring Injuries
Severe injuries can leave an innocent person facing life ahead with disfiguring injuries. These injuries may require a series of painful surgeries, ongoing medical care and treatment, physical therapy, chronic pain, mobility issues due to contracture, infections, and emotional problems, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, social isolation, and an impact on relationships.
Severe Burns
Severe burns are among the most complex and painful injuries. They can cause chronic pain, thick scars that limit mobility, a loss of motor function, potentially life-threatening infections, respiratory issues, and even amputation. The emotional damages that remain after a severe burn can include depression, anxiety, and isolation…all of which can lead to a loss of income, reduced earning capacity, and other consequences.
