What Qualifies a Catastrophic Injury?

Catastrophic injuries are severe, life-changing conditions causing long-term or permanent disabilities. Legally speaking, a catastrophic injury is one whose repercussions permanently prohibit the victim from engaging in gainful activity. Due to their severity, these injuries profoundly impact a person’s ability to enjoy life as they once did. Victims also undergo prolonged medical treatment and rehabilitation. Common examples of bodily damage that may qualify as catastrophic injuries include:

  • Irreparable organ damage
  • Spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis
  • Severe burns
  • Multiple fractures or crush injuries
  • Loss of limbs or amputations
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)

These cases are quite different from milder injuries, such as whiplash or soft tissue damage, in terms of their complexity and the stakes involved. Because catastrophic injuries demand significant compensation to address their devastating impact on the victim's life, it is highly recommended to have the proper catastrophic injury attorney handling your claim.

Look no further than Fassold Trial Law if you are in this position.

Why Hire a Catastrophic Injury Attorney in Texas?

If you or a family member has suffered a catastrophic injury, it is natural to have many questions and concerns. Likely, one of the questions you may ask is what a lawyer would do to help in your case. A Texas catastrophic personal injury lawyer is to your advantage in several ways when pursuing fair compensation. Here is how a lawyer at Fassold Trial Law can help.

Determining the Appropriate Compensation To Seek

One of the most critical steps in pursuing a claim is to evaluate the value of your claim. This is because properly valuing a claim ensures that you secure proper compensation that addresses the impact of catastrophic injuries. Therefore, an attorney will assess the magnitude of your economic and non-economic damages to assign a value to your claim, which is particularly challenging when you have lifelong injuries. Catastrophic injuries may create significant damages, such as:

  • Past and future medical costs
  • Life adjustment costs such as walking assistive devices 
  • Lost ability to earn an income and wages 
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of companionship 

It is not uncommon for catastrophic personal injury lawyers to collaborate with medical experts, economists, and life care planners to calculate the full scope of your losses. This ensures that you claim an amount that truly reflects the devastating and long-term impact on your life.

Maximizing Damages

Owing to the devastating impact of catastrophic injuries, catastrophic personal injury claims often lead to substantial settlement amounts. However, achieving a fair legal recovery requires a thorough understanding of Texas laws, such as comparative negligence rules and the possibility of punitive damages. 

Using the law to your case’s advantage and challenging any insurer’s attempts to minimize compensation is what our firm does best. When insurance companies make insultingly low offers, we do not hesitate to keep fighting for more. 

Our firm regularly obtains record-breaking results despite insurance company attempts to limit claims. In a recent case, insurers offered between $500,000 and $2 million, but we kept fighting until we obtained $21 million for our catastrophically injured client. This is only one example of our tenacity and dedication. 

Handling the Legal Process

Personal injury cases involve several legal steps between initiating the claim and receiving the settlement check. Some of the steps are complex and time-consuming, such as negotiating with insurers and gathering evidence.

A personal injury attorney will oversee the entire process. Our firm will carefully take all necessary steps to advance the claim in your best interests. With such professional guidance, you’ll never feel lost or uninformed.

Giving You Time to Focus On Recovery

Catastrophic injuries leave victims both physically and emotionally exhausted. Furthermore, they might require extensive medical treatment and a prolonged recovery period.

When you hire Fassold Trial Law, we will take the reins of the legal claim so you can prioritize your recovery. Our attorney takes care of the details, so you don’t have to stress about missing anything.
