Whether you’re in a semi-truck crash, experienced medical malpractice, fell and suffered a traumatic brain injury, or received serious burns due to someone else’s negligence, you may have suffered a medically catastrophic injury. The sources of catastrophic injuries are many, but the result for the victim is the same: Permanent disability, disfigurement, and loss of the abilities (physical, cognitive, or both) they had before the accident. Many catastrophic injuries are caused by someone else’s negligence; if yours were, our Lake Worth, FL, catastrophic injury lawyer can help you secure a fair settlement. You’re in good hands with Warner & Fitzmartin – Personal Injury Lawyers. Our legal team handles every aspect of your civil claim for damages, so you can focus on recovery.
Catastrophic Injuries Affect Victims And Families
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers a catastrophic injury to be one in which the victim, no matter how much curative care they receive, will never regain their pre-accident condition. Brain injuries can cause both cognitive and physical changes, including early-onset dementia. Paralysis, full or partial, and other serious spinal cord injuries are also considered catastrophic injuries, as is the loss of a limb or a sense (hearing or vision). Many people may not be able to work, or if they can, cannot continue in the career path they were on before. If you are the primary wage-earner for your family, then your entire family may be facing devastating financial straits.
Many people with catastrophic injuries also require extensive medical care; even after the curative treatments have stopped, you may require ongoing physical or occupational therapy or an on-home health aide. Some people may require full-time care in a skilled nursing facility or memory care home. The lifetime cost to help keep you comfortable and as independent as possible can easily reach over a million dollars. Other people may not require lifetime medical care but may need costly and extensive renovations to their homes and vehicles.
Filing a suit for negligence against the person or entity responsible for your injuries can alleviate these financial burdens and provide the means for you to continue taking care of your family. We know that no amount of money can reverse what happened to you, but a settlement, one that you are legally entitled to collect, can significantly improve your quality of life and ensure you get the best medical care. Our Lake Worth catastrophic injury lawyer can handle all the legal work necessary to pursue fair compensation.
