Do I Need A Lawyer In A Catastrophic Injury Case?

Yes. Hiring a injury lawyer in a catastrophic injury case is essential and needed in order to investigates the incident, identifies all liable parties, calculates the full extent of damages, negotiates with insurers, filing civil lawsuit, and presenting the case before a juror, if necessary. Without retaining a lawyer it is impossible to properly navigate the legal process and secure full compensation for your damages.

Cases that involve life-altering injuries are more complexities than standard personal injury claims. The victim is often suffering from ailments like limb-loss, paralysis, traumatic brain injuries (TBIS), or full thickness burns. And unfortunately, most personal injury attorneys aren't accustomed to the legal batter involved when going up against powerful defendants who are prepared to fight hard to avoid responsibility.

In many the cases involving severe physical trauma there are multiple defendant's involved, like employers, manufactures, general contractors, property owners and transportation companies. Once you file a lawsuit, you will go up against all of the defendants, and they usually team together. Without an attorney skilled at handling high stakes litigation, a plaintiff can easy lose ground, agree to a subpar settlement, or even lose their right to recover after an important procedural deadline is blown. Ideally, in cases involving critical injury the attorney should be seeking the limitation of the insurance coverage and demand policy limits.

At Sneed & Mitchell, we have a track-record of success and are recognized across Texas and nationally for our case outcomes. A major benefit to retaining an attorney accustomed to handling serious injuries is our ability to investigate and determine liability in complex cases. Injuries that occurred on worksite trigger both customary laws and OSHA standards, which cases involving 18 wheelers trigger regulations set for by the FMCSA and The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. Understanding how these agencies operate and how their findings affect your legal case requires deep legal and procedural knowledge.

If you or a loved one has suffered disabling trauma in an accident, hiring a qualified lawyer with extensive success here in Harris County is the most important step you can take to protect your rights and your future. Hire correctly by choosing a firm with knowledge and insight into how your case will develop and potentially be resolved, even prior to retaining the attorney.

Plaintiffs suffering from a catastrophic injury are often no longer be able to work or care of themselves. They may need daily medical help, future surgeries, ongoing therapy, or equipment like wheelchairs, walking devices, or breathing machines. This means that the costs needed to make the victim whole are much higher and also can be indefinite after the accident. Cases with ongoing medical challenges often involve case experts to help estimate the extent of future care needed and lost earnings potential. In contrast, regular personal injury cases are much simpler and almost any personal injury attorney can assist in those claims.

Litigating complex injury cases are also more challenging due to the intensity of the disputes as defendant's fight to avoid their significant financial exposure to a large settlement or verdict. For this reason, cases often involve more discovery requests, pretrial motions, and depositions to uncover the level of details needed to make liability and the extent of injury more undeniable.

A person who suffers a TBI after a car accident may find themselves struggling with basic tasks, such as remembering names or locations, forming sentences, or maintaining balance while walking. More severe cases can leave individuals unable to recognize family members or communicate effectively. Victims often require round-the-clock care or extensive cognitive rehabilitation to regain even partial independence, leading to significant changes in their quality of life and interactions with loved ones.

Spinal Cord Injuries 

Spinal cord injuries are another devastating form of catastrophic injury that can lead to partial or complete paralysis. Damage to the spinal cord can disrupt the body’s communication between the brain and muscles, resulting in a loss of movement and sensation below the site of injury. For instance, someone who sustains a spinal cord injury in a car accident may lose the ability to walk, requiring a wheelchair to navigate daily life. 

In severe cases, a person may also lose control over their upper body, necessitating assistance for even simple tasks like eating, dressing, or grooming. Spinal cord injuries also often cause chronic pain and secondary health conditions, such as respiratory issues, that further complicate the victim’s recovery and daily functioning.

Burn Injuries

Often resulting from fire, scalding liquids, or chemical exposure, burn injuries are among the most painful and enduring types of catastrophic injuries. Severe burns can penetrate multiple layers of skin, leading to nerve damage, scarring, and disfigurement. 

An individual caught in a house fire may sustain second or third-degree burns that destroy skin tissue, necessitating skin graft surgeries and extensive rehabilitation. The recovery process can be incredibly painful, as skin grafts may not always take, leading to further surgeries and complications. Victims often experience social isolation due to visible scarring and face challenges with self-image, in addition to dealing with the physical limitations imposed by burn injuries.

Amputations

Amputations caused by traumatic injuries can leave individuals permanently disabled. Whether the finger or limb is severed, the surgically removed, these injuries have long-term health implications. These injuries are common in high-risk professions here in Harris County, like construction or manufacturing, where machinery malfunctions or accidents with heavy equipment can result in limb loss. Our amputation injury lawyers regularly assist limb loss victims and help ensure victims secure compensation to cover their pain, disfigurement, future surgeries, aid devices, and more.

Organ Damage

Acute organ damage caused by blunt impact to the body is always life-threatening and can cause chronic health consequences. Traumatic events, such as 18-wheeler collisions or industrial accidents often require immediate surgery to stabilize the victim and may necessitate organ transplants or life-long medication to manage the resulting health complications. In prior cases clients have suffered injury to their brain, lungs, liver, kidney, and bladder and required emergency surgery, long-term hospitalization, and extensive medical support.

Fatal Injuries
