What Is A Catastrophic Injury?
A catastrophic injury is a severe injury that has life-altering, long-term or permanent effects on a person’s life. Often, these injuries require extensive ongoing medical treatment or rehabilitation. These serious injuries can also result in debilitating and lifelong disabilities.
Common Types Of Catastrophic Injuries
Serious and traumatic accidents can result in severe injuries. Some common types of catastrophic injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Severe burns
- Amputations
- Multiple fractures
- Organ damage
These injuries can significantly impact your ability to work, perform daily activities and otherwise enjoy life. Because of the significant and ongoing medical costs, it is crucial to seek legal help to secure compensation. Compensation can help cover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages and other related expenses.
What Kinds Of Accidents Lead To Catastrophic Injuries?
Catastrophic injuries can result from various types of accidents. Some of the most common incidents that lead to these severe injuries include:
- Car and motor vehicle accidents
- Workplace incidents and accidents
- Construction site accidents

No matter the cause of your injury, it is essential to hold the responsible parties accountable. As your catastrophic injury attorney, I will investigate the circumstances of your accident and build a strong case to help you pursue the compensation you deserve. I can work with insurance companies and take your case to trial if necessary.
What Are The Long-Term Effects Of A Catastrophic Injury?
The long-term effects of a catastrophic injury can be life-changing. You may face physical challenges such as chronic pain, limited mobility, and the need for ongoing medical care. Emotional and psychological effects, such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, are also common. Additionally, the financial burden of medical bills, rehabilitation costs and lost income can be overwhelming.
These long-term effects can significantly impact your quality of life and the lives of your loved ones. It is essential to seek compensation that covers not only your immediate needs but also your future care and support.
Filing Deadlines For Catastrophic Injury Claims In Texas
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury. This means you have a limited time to file a lawsuit to seek compensation for your injuries. Missing this deadline can result in losing your right to pursue a claim. It is crucial to act quickly and consult with an attorney to ensure your case is filed within the required timeframe.
