Orlando Catastrophic Injury Lawyers

Dedicated Orlando, FL Personal Injury Attorneys

Some accidents result in serious injuries that require professional medical treatment, but some injuries are worse than others. When a person suffers a personal injury that results in long-lasting or permanent scarring, impairment, or disability, it is known as a catastrophic injury. These types of injuries can permanently affect a person's ability to enjoy life and to maintain the standard of living that he or she had before the accident.

Recovering Fair Compensation for Life-Changing Injuries

Life-changing injuries include severe burns, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injuries. Each of these injuries can have a lasting or permanent impact on the life of the injured individual and therefore deserves more compensation than less devastating personal injury cases.

Severe Burns 
Burns can leave lasting or permanent scars that can affect an individual's self-image. Deeper burns, such as second- and third-degree burns, are susceptible to serious infections and can cause irreversible damage to nerves and muscle tissue. Some burn injuries may even require skin grafting or amputation.

Brain Injuries 
Traumatic brain injury occurs when a person suffers a severe blow to the head that causes bruising, bleeding, and permanent damage to the brain.

Victims of such injuries often suffer from long-term effects such as:

• Insomnia
• Decreased mental capacity
• Speech impairment
• Emotional instability
• Visual impairment
• Chronic pain or headaches
• Decreased coordination
• Amnesia
• A coma or vegetative state

Spinal Cord Injuries 
The spinal cord houses the central nervous system for most of your body. If it is damaged, a person could suffer permanent loss of feeling and / or motor function below the point of injury. Spinal cord injury can result in temporary or permanent paralysis that is either partial or total. Spinal cord injury victims are unable to return to the lifestyles that they had before their accidents.
