Our Lawyer Understands the Causes of Catastrophic Injury Accidents
Catastrophic injuries can occur in almost any type of negligence accident. When someone else’s careless or reckless behavior causes an accident or incident, and you suffer life-altering injuries, it will likely support a personal injury legal case.
Negligence occurs when:
- One party owes another a duty of care
- They breach the duty of care
- Their action or inaction causes an accident or incident
- The victim suffers damages in the form of injuries and other losses
Some common ways this can occur include:
Our Alabama personal injury lawyer handles these types of injury accidents and others. If you or a loved one suffered serious injuries and believe someone else’s negligence is to blame, contact us. Our team can determine your legal options and offer advice.
Examples of Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries are those that require long-term treatment and rehabilitation, often leaving victims with lasting scarring, disfigurement, or disabilities. Some examples of catastrophic injuries might include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Serious fractures or crush injuries
- Traumatic amputations
- Serious burns and scarring
Catastrophic injuries require our Alabama lawyer to document future treatment and ongoing care and support costs in addition to the care the client has already received. This makes recovering fair compensation in these cases more difficult.

We Understand the Costs of Catastrophic Injury Accidents
Catastrophic injuries require specialized treatment, care, and rehabilitation. This is most commonly available at a designated trauma center. In the Alabama Trauma and Health System (ATHS), there are four Level I facilities, two Level II facilities, and numerous Level III trauma facilities across the state.
Level I trauma centers are in Birmingham, Huntsville, and Mobile, while there are Level II trauma centers in Montgomery and Dothan. Some patients could receive care at facilities in Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, or Mississippi, depending on where their injuries occurred.
Inpatient care for serious, life-altering injuries can take months between surgeries, treatment, and inpatient rehabilitation. Even once released, patients often continue therapies and follow-up care. The costs can quickly reach six or seven figures for care alone. These medical expenses and other losses could include:
- Economic Damages: Medical bills, future care costs, income losses, reduced earning ability, out-of-pocket expenses
- Non-Economic Damages: Emotional distress, pain and suffering, and any losses in your quality of life
Future care and support are essential to consider when seeking compensation for catastrophic injuries. One primary focus of our Alabama attorney is to ensure each client pursues the money they need to pay for their ongoing catastrophic injury needs. This could include therapies, long-term care facilities, regular nursing care, wheelchairs and equipment, and much more.
We have access to experts who can help us understand the prognosis and ongoing care needs of every client. This is crucial to securing a fair payout that promotes full healing when possible.
