    What is a Catastrophic Injury?

    A catastrophic injury can take a few different definitions depending on what medical or legal source you use. Typically, though, an injury is considered catastrophic if it causes a life-threatening or permanent health condition or disability.

    Our trial lawyers always take every injury case seriously, of course, but when we help a client who has been catastrophically injured, we know that we must pull out all the stops. We can rely on our vast resources, decades of collective practice experience, and network of third-party professionals to prepare a compelling case that pursues nothing but the best possible results.

    Types of Catastrophic Injuries

    Let us handle your claim involving any type of catastrophic injury, such as:

    • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs): Traumatic brain injuries usually result from a blow to the head, potentially causing long-term cognitive, physical, and emotional impairments. Common causes include slip-and-falls and motor vehicle accidents.
    • Spinal cord injuries (SCIs): Spinal cord injuries and paralysis occur when the spinal cord is damaged, leading to partial or complete loss of movement and sensation to certain body parts. Paraplegia is paralysis of both legs, and quadriplegia is paralysis of all limbs and most of the body.
    • Amputations: The loss of a limb or extremity due to severe trauma, infection, or circulatory issues is an amputation. Nearly all amputation injuries cause significantly impacted mobility and daily functioning, requiring adaptation and rehabilitation.
    • Burn injuries: Whether a burn injury is caused by exposure to heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation, the result can be life-threatening. Severe burns can result in complications such as infections, scarring, and physical disability.
    • Fractures: Broken bones may not seem catastrophic in some cases, but there is always a chance that a bone does not heal correctly, which can lead to long-term issues like arthritis or reduced mobility.
    • Scarring or disfigurement: Permanent scarring develops when the skin is damaged and does not heal completely, often following deep cuts, burns, or surgical procedures. Scarring can affect appearance and self-esteem, and may sometimes restrict movement if severe.

      Can You File a Catastrophic Injury Claim for Someone Else?

      Normally, you cannot file an injury claim or lawsuit on behalf of someone else, even if they have been catastrophically injured, and would rather not deal with legal processes. However, an attorney can file and manage a catastrophic injury claim on your behalf as part of the hiring contract. By hiring a catastrophic injury attorney from Kemmy Law Firm, P.C., you or your loved one can focus on rest while we focus on the details of your case.
