Is Negligence Included In Catastrophic Injury Cases? 

• March 3, 2025
• Personal Injury

Catastrophic injuries can encompass a wide range of situations. Instances such as car or motorcycle wrecks can result in serious physical and emotional harm for a person. You could also potentially be injured while at your job, resulting in serious harm that prevents you from working. 

While each one of these situations is unique, the one factor they may have in common is that these situations may happen due to someone else’s careless or negligence. The team at Crain Brogdon LLP in Dallas, TX, is here for you when you need legal help after you have been harmed due to another’s negligence. 

Understanding What Negligence Means 

When another individual fails to act with care or has a disregard for safety, this may be considered negligence. Unfortunately, someone else’s careless actions can lead to you or a loved one becoming severely injured. For example, if you are at a restaurant and slip on a spill that has not been attended to, you may fall and hurt yourself.  You could hit your head, injure your back, or harm your spinal cord. The physical and emotional harm caused by the slip-and-fall accident can having lasting effects on you and could have been prevented if the spill had been cleaned up. 

Areas We May Be Able To Help With  

Negligence comes in more forms than slip-and-fall accidents. Some of the most common situations that result in serious harm to others are vehicle wrecks. If another driver is distracted by texting or other means, the driver could cause a car wreck. Car wrecks can lead to injuries such as scrapes, cuts, broken bones, and spinal cord injuries. Surgical mishaps, errors during anesthesia, and incorrect prescriptions are just a few examples of medical malpractice mistakes that can seriously harm a patient. 

Negligence can also include areas such as product liability. If you purchase any type of product, there is a reasonable expectation that the product is safe and works as intended. A faulty product could lead to you becoming seriously injured. We may be able to determine who is liable for the injuries caused by the damaged or defective product.

Seeking Compensation For Your Situation

These incidents can lead to physical and emotional harm that can take years to recover from. In some cases, the aftereffects of these accidents may last a lifetime, and unfortunately, in some cases, catastrophic injuries can result in death. We understand that it can often be difficult to navigate these situations on your own. Our team can help investigate your case and fight to get you compensation for areas such as medical bills, mental anguish, punitive damage, and more.
