Durham Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

Severe injuries to a person’s spine, brain, or other major organ are considered catastrophic injuries.

A powerful and life-altering injury can have many different results; sometimes, victims fully recover, though sometimes, victims lose the ability to perform daily life functions. Unfortunately, some of these injuries can even cause death.

What is a Catastrophic Injury?

What is a catastrophic injury? Catastrophic injuries substantially change a person’s health, independence, or ability to work and carry out everyday activities.

Unlike injuries that heal relatively quickly, catastrophic injuries often require extensive medical treatment and may lead to lasting financial and personal consequences.

Whether an injury qualifies as catastrophic depends on its severity and the extent to which it affects the injured person’s future.

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries

Several types of incidents and accidents can cause catastrophic injuries. Some of the most common causes of fatal injuries include:

What Are the Long-Term Effects of a Catastrophic Injury?

Catastrophic injuries can result in lifelong disabilities and issues, such as:

Permanent paralysis
Motor skill and speech disabilities
Brain and any neurological malfunctions or deficits
Constant or chronic pain
The need for lifelong rehab

Establishing Liability in Durham Catastrophic Injury Cases

Recovering compensation after a catastrophic accident requires that you establish another party’s catastrophic injury liability.

In other words, you must prove that they owed you a duty of care to avoid harming you, failed in that duty, and directly caused your catastrophic injury.

The attorneys at Kreger Brodish LLP can gather and review accident reports, photographs, medical records, witness statements, and expert testimony to establish both how your injury occurred and who should be held accountable.

What Compensation Can You Recover for a Catastrophic Injury?

The amount and types of catastrophic injury compensation that may be available to you depend on the nature and severity of your injury and the extent to which it’s expected to affect you going forward.

Depending on the circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Rehabilitation and assistive care
Pain and suffering
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Loss of enjoyment of life

An experienced Durham catastrophic injury lawyer from Kreger Brodish LLP can evaluate your losses and pursue compensation that reflects their full impact.
