Car wrecks, medical negligence, assaults, and even slips and falls on a business’ property can result in paralysis, brain damage, spinal cord injuries, loss of an arm or leg, and other catastrophic injuries. These injuries often result in long-term or permanent disability, requiring ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, and significant lifestyle adjustments. If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury due to someone else’s negligence, you need experienced legal representation to secure the compensation you deserve.
What Our Clients Say
What Are Catastrophic Injuries?
Catastrophic injuries include severe, life-altering conditions such as:
- Paralysis (including spinal cord injuries)
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Amputations
- Severe burns
- Organ damage
These injuries can result from various accidents, including:
- Truck and car wrecks
- Medical malpractice
- Workplace accidents
- Defective products
- Explosions and fires
The Financial and Emotional Toll of Catastrophic Injuries
Beyond the physical pain, catastrophic injuries place a tremendous financial and emotional burden on victims and their families. Medical expenses often reach into the millions, especially when long-term care, home modifications, and rehabilitation are required. Additionally, if the victim was the primary earner in the household, their inability to work can create financial distress for the entire family.
What Damages Are Available for Catastrophic Injuries?
If your injury was caused by negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages and loss of future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Home care and medical equipment
- Loss of consortium (for spouses)
Alabama does not impose a statutory cap on compensation for catastrophic injuries. In cases of extreme negligence or wrongdoing, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the responsible party and deter future misconduct.
