A catastrophic injury is described as any injury that is likely to result in permanent medical complications or disability. These injuries persist long after your initial recovery period, and are often life-threatening if not treated immediately. Some of the most common examples of catastrophic injuries include: 

• Skull fracture
• Brain damage
• Spinal cord fracture
• Amputation
• Paralysis
• Burns
• Blindness

If you suffered an accident that directly or indirectly caused one of the above injuries to occur, you’ll need an expert Denver catastrophic injury attorney to get you the best settlement possible.

Catastrophic injury cases are much more complex than other personal injury suits, which makes them more challenging to navigate. While a more standard personal injury lawsuit may calculate damages based on lost wages, medical bills, property damage, etc., catastrophic injury cases require an attorney to quantify things such as quality of life, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and other things that are invaluable to you as a human being. 

This can be a very distressing process for victims of these injuries as well as their families, and we aim to handle these situations with patience, understanding, and compassion. Though no amount of money can make up for the loss of quality of life or independence that these injuries may cause, we hope to get you a settlement that eases some financial worries that may arise in the wake of these unfortunate incidents.

Catastrophic injuries almost always come without warning, and can be caused by dozens of different accidents. Some of the most common catastrophic injury accidents include: 

• Car accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Commercial trucking accidents
• Ski & snowboard accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Slip and falls

Filing a lawsuit against the responsible party is only one part of life following a catastrophic injury. Thankfully, there are people in Denver already hard at work to support those affected by these tragic circumstances.
