Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic Injury Attorney

Catastrophic injuries have an enormous impact on the lives of the individuals who experience them and their families.  Any injury that has an irreversible and extreme impact on a person’s life qualifies as a catastrophic injury.  In an instant, an accident or injury can cause permanent damage to a person’s physical, mental, and psychological state, often times leaving him or her with lifelong repercussions.

Catastrophic Injuries include the following:

  • Serious Head Trauma
  • Eye Injury
  • Shoulder Injury
  • Foot Injury
  • Neurological Disorders
  • Brain Injury
  • Spinal Cord Injury
  • Severe Burns
  • Accidental Amputation
  • Multiple Bone Fractures

Long-Term Effects of Catastrophic Injury

A catastrophic injury can affect a person’s neurological system, skeletal system, or muscular system, and physical, mental, and cognitive functions. Over the course of a person’s life, medical needs change. Persons who were injured as children may need to undergo surgery or treatment as an adult due to past injuries.  In addition, there are long-term consequences the entire family will face as a result of the catastrophic injury.  The attorneys at OConnor, Runckel & OMalley work with medical professionals, vocational rehabilitation experts, and financial planners to determine all of the effects of catastrophic injuries.  We have the skill and experience to ensure that individuals and their families receive the financial support necessary to help them move forward with their lives.
