Maine Catastrophic Injury Attorney

Has a Catastrophic Injury Changed Your Life?

An unexpected injury can be physically, emotionally, and financially disastrous for an individual and their family. Everything can change in the blink of an eye; people who were once healthy and active may no longer be able to work, go to school, care for their children, or perform their day-to-day routines. This situation can be overwhelmingly difficult and frustrating, especially knowing that an accident was caused by someone else’s carelessness and that it never should have happened.

Common Types & Causes of Catastrophic Injuries

A catastrophic injury usually occurs suddenly and often results in major changes to a person’s life. Often, people who sustain catastrophic injuries are not able to return to work. Catastrophic injuries can take many forms, but some of the most common types include:

• Spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Loss of a limb
• Internal organ damage
• Severe thermal or chemical burns
• Blindness

Catastrophic injuries usually occur as a result of a workplace accident, industrial accident, slip-and-fall accident, motor vehicle accident, or even medical malpractice. These injuries can be either partially or fully disabling depending on their complexity. For example, spinal cord damage could result in paralysis. A severe TBI could affect the way a person is able to think, speak, and interact with people. Some of these conditions may require extensive long-term care, which means significant medical bills. Holding the person or entity responsible for your accident accountable for their negligence can help you get the money you need to cover your bills and provide for your family.
