Types Of Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic neck, head and spinal cord injuries often cause acute chronic pain and long-term health problems that require ongoing medical care. They can lead to paralysis and affect an injured victim’s motor skills, muscle strength and ability to control bodily functions such as bladder and bowel movements, breathing and sexual performance. The cost of multiple surgeries, hospitalization, rehabilitation, physical therapy and long-term care can reach into the millions of dollars. Our brain injury lawyers have recovered compensation for clients who have suffered head, neck and spinal cord injuries such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), paralysis, loss of sight and hearing loss.

Other types of catastrophic injuries include:

Loss of limbs

Burns, scarring and disfigurement

Severe fractures and crushed bones

Chronic illness or injury caused dangerous chemicals or substances

Brain injuries can also cause debilitating psychological conditions such as PTSD, depression and anxiety

Recovering Damages For Catastrophic Injuries

It’s difficult to put a number on the devastating repercussions of a spinal cord injury, as damages like diminished quality of life are not easily quantifiable. Our brain injury attorneys are well-versed in accurately valuing personal injury claims and developing effective legal strategies to help you get the care you need and protect your family’s financial future. Our team understands how to utilize valuable evidence to prove liability in catastrophic injury cases. We work with experts such as neuropsychologists and life care planners to prepare well-documented cases for compensation that demonstrate the long-term impact your injuries may have on you and your family.

Types of damages that may be recovered in a catastrophic injury case include:

Past and future medical expenses

The cost of ongoing physical therapy, rehabilitation and continuing care

Past and future loss of income

Emotional distress

Pain and suffering

Loss of enjoyment of life

Loss of companionship and consortium

Punitive damages (if the actions of the person or entity that caused your injury were particularly egregious)

Insurance Company Negotiations And Litigation

Sadly, insurance companies are in the business of making money and try to pay as little as possible on personal injury claims or even deny valid claims altogether. Our seasoned legal team at The Stanley Law Offices takes care of negotiations with insurance companies so you and your family can concentrate on your health and well-being. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, our experienced litigators will not hesitate to take your case to court and fight to help you recover maximum compensation for your damages. At Stanley Law Offices we handle personal injury claims on a contingency basis, which means that you won’t owe any attorney’s fees unless we help you recover compensation.
