Common Catastrophic Injuries

​

Catastrophic injuries come in a number of shapes and sizes. The common denominator is that these types of accidents cause serious physical damage that is often long-lasting.

 

Some of the catastrophic injuries that we commonly see include:

​

• Traumatic brain injury

• Spinal cord injuries

• Neck injuries

• Scarring and disfigurement

• Vision loss

• Burn injuries

​

Regardless of the type of impairment, a serious injury can severely limit a person’s day-to-day activities, including the ability to make money and provide for a family.

​

Compensation For Your Injuries

​

Catastrophic injuries can happen in a wide variety of ways, from a multi-car accident on a busy highway to a platform accident on an oil & gas offshore rig, or even an explosion at a plant.

​

A person who is injured in these and other types of accidents in Louisiana has the right to seek compensation from those responsible. That may be a store owner who allows the premises to become unsafe or a negligent driver who causes a crash.

​

The money damages available in these cases typically include compensation for current and future medical bills, lost wages or any reduction in earning capacity caused by the injuries. Additional compensation is often available for pain, suffering and emotional distress, including that related to a person’s inability to enjoy common daily activities.

​

Your lawyer's skills and credibility can make a tremendous difference in the outcome and duration of your case.

​

Our personal injury attorneys are seasoned professionals who command respect when negotiating with an insurance company or fighting for you in court. We will not let the insurance company take advantage of you.
