Catastrophic Injury Claims

Personal injury cases happen every day in Tampa Bay. These cases include all types of accidents with varying injuries and repercussions for the victims and their families. But when an injury is so severe, it is called a catastrophic injury. Catastrophic injuries,a s the name implies, cause greater physical, emotional, and financial consequences to victims.

If you or someone you love has been in a catastrophic accident, our injury attorneys are here to help you understand the serious nature of these injuries and why you may be entitled to higher monetary compensation to make things right again.

What is a Catastrophic Injury?

Catastrophic injuries are not just your average personal injuries from an accident. They are so serious they are classified into a category of their own. Many lawyers, such as ours at Mickey Keenan, P.A.in Tampa, FL, choose to differentiate catastrophic injury cases from others, and for very good reason. Catastrophic injuries vary in the type of injuries sustained, the damages and impact they have on the victim and their family, and the long-term or life-long repercussions they have produced. Additionally, they often involve higher stakes and more legal challenges when fighting for justice. These types of injuries may be considered catastrophic:

Multiple broken bones
Orthopedic injuries
Severe burns
Severe nerve/ligament damage
Paralysis/spinal cord injuries
Amputation and loss of limbs
paraplegia/quadriplegia
Brain injuries
Neurological disorders
Incapacitation- Death

Unfortunately, many victims of catastrophic injuries often settle for the first offer they receive from insurance. And sadly, many times it is not enough to cover their repairs, medical expenses, and ongoing pain and suffering. Why is this? When it comes to catastrophic injury claims, most people do not think big picture. They want or need the money now to help offset the high cost of the injuries, care, or funeral expenses.

Don’t wait; call our reputable injury attorneys or submit a case review and we can help you.
