What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

Catastrophic injuries are those that are life-altering and result in permanent disabilities. These injuries often render victims unable to return to work and require ongoing medical care, including rehabilitative therapy. In some cases, victims of catastrophic injuries may never be able to live independently.

Some examples of catastrophic injuries include:

  • Amputation and limb loss
  • Paralysis, including paraplegia and quadriplegia
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Severe burn injuries
  • Blindness
  • Neurological damage
  • Organ damage
  • Severe brain injuries

What Is the Difference Between Catastrophic and Severe Injuries?

Severe injuries are those that are serious and require immediate medical attention. However, unlike catastrophic injuries, severe injuries do not result in permanent disabilities. For example, a severe injury may be a broken bone, a severe laceration, or a head injury that causes a concussion.

Catastrophic injuries, on the other hand, are more serious and result in permanent disabilities. These injuries are often life-changing for victims and their families, and they may require lifelong care.

What Causes Catastrophic Injuries?

Catastrophic injuries can be caused by a wide range of accidents and incidents. In many cases, these injuries are the result of someone else’s negligence.

Some examples of the types of accidents that can result in catastrophic injuries include:

Types of Compensation Available in Greenville Catastrophic Injury Cases

When a person suffers a catastrophic injury, they may require ongoing medical care, including surgery, rehabilitative therapy, and more. They may also be unable to work, either temporarily or permanently. In some cases, catastrophic injuries result in permanent disabilities that hinder a person’s ability to live independently.

Given the severity of these injuries and the impact they have on a person’s life, the amount of compensation available in a catastrophic injury case is often significant. While no amount of money can undo the damage caused by a catastrophic injury, compensation can help victims and their families move forward and rebuild their lives.

Some of the most common types of damages available in catastrophic injury cases include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Rehabilitative therapy costs
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of future earnings
  • Disability-related accommodations
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of consortium

How an Experienced Greenville Catastrophic Injury Attorney Can Help You

An experienced catastrophic injury attorney plays a crucial role in helping victims navigate the complex legal and financial challenges that arise after a life-altering injury. Their insight is vital in ensuring that victims receive the compensation they need to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other long-term costs associated with their injuries. 

Here’s how an experienced catastrophic injury attorney in Greenville can assist:

  • Comprehensive Case Evaluation: A seasoned catastrophic injury attorney will thoroughly assess your case, identifying all potential sources of compensation. This includes evaluating the full extent of your injuries, the impact on your life, and any future medical or care needs.
  • Building a Strong Case: Proving the severity of a catastrophic injury requires detailed evidence, including medical records, expert testimony, and financial projections. An experienced attorney knows how to gather and present this evidence effectively to establish liability and demonstrate the full extent of the damages you’ve suffered.
  • Navigating Insurance Claims: Dealing with insurance companies can be daunting, especially when the stakes are high. A knowledgeable attorney will handle all communications with insurers, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you are not pressured into accepting a settlement that is less than what you deserve.
  • Maximizing Compensation: Catastrophic injuries often result in significant long-term costs, including ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, home modifications, and loss of earning capacity. An experienced attorney will fight to secure compensation that fully reflects these needs, including both economic and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
  • Skilled Negotiation & Litigation: Many catastrophic injury cases are settled out of court, but sometimes litigation is necessary to achieve a fair outcome. An experienced attorney is skilled in negotiation and prepared to take your case to trial if necessary. They will advocate on your behalf, using their knowledge of the law and the specifics of your case to seek the best possible result.
  • Providing Support & Guidance: Beyond legal representation, a catastrophic injury attorney offers support and guidance throughout the process. They understand the emotional and physical toll of such injuries and can connect you with resources and professionals who can assist in your recovery and adjustment to new life circumstances.

    "20 out of 10 stars."
    There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it's interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don't have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.

    "Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members"
    I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!

    "So thankful for your expertise and professionalism"
    Mrs. Gonzalez did an awesome job of explaining everything in detail and keeping me informed on the status of my case. Despite poor customer service with the insurance company, Mrs. Gonzalez was able to fix what they could not. Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.
