Types Of Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries are those that are life-altering. They are debilitating injuries from which you or your loved one may never fully recover.
Several accidents cause injuries that are catastrophic in nature and are the ones that could have easily been avoided if proper safety precautions had been taken. As such, these types of catastrophic injuries deserve to be addressed by a professional and experienced personal injury lawyer near you. At Penn & Seaborn, LLC, we have successfully handled cases of the highest degree, winning over $100 million in the last 14 years for the victims of personal injury accidents whom we represented.
Types Of Catastrophic Injury Cases We Handle
We have a proven track record of achieving substantial verdicts and settlements for our clients with catastrophic injuries, including:
Amputations
One of the biggest hazards of industrial work is the risk posed to the workers who operate heavy machinery. These powerful machines have the ability to quickly cut off a limb or badly injure a worker to the point that amputation will be necessary.
Blunt Force Trauma
The forceful impact of an object to a specific region of the body can cause serious, often life-altering injuries. These injuries are referred to as blunt force trauma, and one of the most common places that these injuries occur is the head.
Burns, Scarring And Disfigurement
Burn injuries are physically disfiguring, but they can also be emotionally scarring. These are some of the most painful injuries. The scars and disfigurement that usually result from burns are often lifelong maladies.
Crushing Injury
More than 100,000 workers suffer from a crushing injury each year, many times as the result of being caught in between two heavy, solid objects. In these cases, hiring personal injury lawyers to help with your case is a must!
Vision Loss And Eye Injuries
One of the most common workplace injuries is damage done to the eye. This is also often catastrophic in nature, as it can forever impair a person’s ability to see.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Injuries to the vertebrae of the spinal cord can cause serious debilitation. Those who sustain these types of injuries may suffer from loss of limb function or complete paralysis. You need an injury attorney who can help ensure that you get the best possible treatment if your injury was sustained wrongfully.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
Traumatic brain injuries can range in seriousness from mild to quite severe. In particularly serious cases, traumatic brain injuries can be lethal.
How High-Speed Highway Crashes Cause TBIs and Spinal Cord Injuries
High-speed highway crashes deliver enormous force to the human body in an instant. When a vehicle strikes another at highway speed, the sudden deceleration causes the brain to move violently within the skull. This force causes severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) that damage memory, cognitive ability and basic motor function.
The same impact that injures the brain can also fracture and compress the spine. Spinal cord injuries from unbraked highway collisions frequently lead to partial or complete paralysis. These injuries require lifelong medical care and permanently alter every aspect of your daily life.
Calculating Long-Term Damages In Catastrophic Injury Cases
Catastrophic injuries carry costs that extend far beyond the initial accident. Long-term damages in catastrophic injury cases typically include:
- Future medical care: Ongoing treatment, surgeries and rehabilitation can generate high costs for decades
- Lost earning capacity: A catastrophic injury may limit or permanently end your ability to earn a living
- In-home care and support: Daily personal assistance at home carries substantial long-term expense
- Pain and suffering: Chronic pain and emotional trauma carry real monetary value under Alabama law
- Adaptive equipment and home modifications: Wheelchairs, vehicle adaptations and accessibility upgrades represent major financial burdens
At Penn & Seaborn, LLC, we partner with medical experts and certified life-care planners to accurately calculate your future care costs and lost earning capacity. We fight to make sure your claim reflects every factor that shapes your future.
