Common catastrophic injuries include:

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBI)
  • According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 1.7 million traumatic brain injuries occur every year in the United States. Unfortunately, TBIs and mTBIs are often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, leading to inadequate treatment, delayed treatment, or no treatment at all.
  • Victims who sustain a TBI or mTBI after an accident may experience the following symptoms:
    • Headaches
    • Memory loss
    • Concentration problems
    • Vision problems, such as double or blurry vision
    • Sensitivity to light and/or sounds
    • Changes in mood, behavior and/or personality
    • Dizziness or loss of balance
    • Nausea and/or vomiting
  • Amputations and Losses of Limb(s)
  • Significant Scarring or Disfigurement
  • Paralysis and Spinal Cord Injuries
  • Third-Degree Burns
  • Temporary or Permanent Disabilities

There is no question that losing a limb or never being able to see again is life altering and will forever physically and emotionally affect a victim.  Thus, it only makes sense that catastrophic injury victims have greater damages and need much higher compensation than an individual who has sustained an ordinary, temporary injury.  That is why such victims cannot take a chance by hiring incompetent attorneys to handle their catastrophic injury case.
