Have you or a loved one been a victim of a catastrophic injury? Catastrophic injuries are devastating and life-changing.  Here at the Kisselburgh Law Firm, we have represented people severely burned, suffered a brain injury, suffered amputations or suffered a spinal cord injury, including quadriplegia and paraplegia. We know that when you are struggling with a catastrophic injury, the last thing you want to worry about is money; you want to think about how to continue to live your life.  You need someone with experience on your side.

Catastrophic Injuries are Life-Altering

With a minor or even serious injury, it’s possible to recover and heal and resume your normal day-to-day life. With a catastrophic injury, such as amputation, brain injury, serious burns or spinal cord injury, the Kisselburgh Law Firm understands that your life is forever changed. You’ll be working to adapt and find a new way to live and the last thing you should have to worry about is medical bills and potentially finding a new job.

Unfortunately, catastrophic injuries are life-altering. If you’re a construction worker and you undergo an amputation or a spinal cord injury, you’re probably never going to be a construction worker again.  You’ll need to make adaptations to continue to live your life, and you may need to change careers or undergo vocational retraining to learn a new trade. You may be unemployed for a period of time, or you may never resume your former career and be forced to retire on disability.

If your catastrophic injury is caused by someone else’s negligence, such as a car accident, tractor-trailer accident, an accident on the job or even medical malpractice, you may be eligible to seek a financial recovery to help offset the burden of your injury.

Catastrophic Injuries Create Massive Medical Bills

Catastrophic injuries aren’t like other medical conditions. With a broken bone, you may have the cost of an ER visit, follow up with your doctor, and maybe even physical therapy to help you regain full functionality.  Catastrophic injuries, though, are in an entirely separate realm of medical care. In the event of a spinal cord injury, for example, your medical bills will likely be over a hundred thousand dollars. This does not include your rehabilitation or ongoing medical expenses you will have for the remainder of your life. 

Accidents and Negligence Alike Cause Catastrophic Injuries

Injuries happen; it’s impossible to predict when a catastrophic injury will occur. You could be at work, minding your own business and doing your job, only to be surprised by an electrical fire between you and the exit. You could be driving home from work, and happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and caught in a serious large truck accident. You could even be in the hospital for routine medical treatment and find yourself the victim of a medical malpractice case, resulting in a catastrophic injury.

If you receive a catastrophic injury as part of a tractor-trailer accident, car accident, boating accident, product defect case, medical malpractice case, work-related accident or other instance of negligence, you may be eligible to make a claim for your financial damages. However, you need an attorney experienced in handling catastrophic injury cases as they present a whole different set of issues not found in your ordinary injury claim.

Consult a Lawyer Regarding Your Catastrophic Injury Case

Not just any personal injury attorney will do; catastrophic injuries fall into an entirely separate realm of expertise. You need a lawyer with experience in helping families suffering from catastrophic injuries, such as amputations, brain injuries, severe burns or spinal cord injuries. We here at Kisselburgh Law Firm have the experience to pursue your case.

Take the worry out of your hands. When you hire an experienced catastrophic injury attorney, we can determine whether or not you can pursue a lawsuit for your injuries.  In you or a loved one has been suffered a catastrophic injury, contact the Kisselburgh Law Firm at 601-936-4040 or contact us online today to schedule a FREE CONSULTATION.
