Catastrophic Injuries

by Clearwater Personal Injury Lawyers Tragos & Sartes

Catastrophic injuries are life changing accidents which unfavorably alter the course of a life. A catastrophic injury occurs suddenly and without warning and usually includes brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, accidental amputations, severe burns, multiple fractures, or other neurological disorders. The injuries generally disrupt the functioning of the central nervous system, which has far reaching effects. Motor control problems, cognitive impairments, communication problems, and basic functioning can all be impaired. Because of the pervasive negative effects of catastrophic injuries, professional, extensive health care and support is usually necessary in treatment, recovery, and long term care. If treated early, recovery might be possible, although for many injured parties, permanent disability, shortened life spans, and significant suffering will be a lifelong consequence of the accident.

If a catastrophic injury resulted because of negligence, an experienced personal injury lawyer can help recover damages, medical costs, and pain and suffering. Catastrophic injuries are overwhelming for both the suffering party and their family and loved ones without having the additional financial burden of the accident. The contacted attorney must understand the special lifelong needs of the injured person and the necessity of the responsible party to be held accountable for their actions. Defective products or general negligence can both result in unwanted catastrophic injuries.
