- Catastrophic Injury
When catastrophic injuries strike, you can be certain that lifelong impacts are to follow. Unlike accidents that can result in a sprain or cut, a catastrophic injury is one that causes severe damage and requires significant, if not lifelong, medical intervention. Even worse, wrongful death is a common outcome of a catastrophic injury, and you should not have to bear this burden alone. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX catastrophic injury attorneys take a look at situations that can lead to catastrophic outcomes and explain what steps you can take in the event a situation occurs.
Car, Truck, and Other Automobile Accidents
A car, truck, or other automobile accident can be traumatizing for anyone, and there are often several layers of concern. In minor cases, individuals may be lucky to get off without any bodily injuries and only minor car damage. In situations on the more extreme end, however, individuals may not be lucky enough to escape with their own life. It is in these latter situations where our team can help.

We strive to help our clients and their families obtain justice for the negative effects suffered from a catastrophic accident that otherwise could have been avoided.

Working in Construction
Another possible situation that may lend itself to a catastrophic injury includes construction accidents. Working in construction can be a rewarding industry, but it is also very physically demanding. From having to work on tall metal frames high in the air to operating specialized equipment, there are several opportunities for harm and/or injury.
Because construction work is extremely varied, there are several different types of injury an individual can endure. For example, an individual may experience electrocution, lacerations, respiratory problems as a result of construction materials, second- and third-degree burns, dismemberment, and even death.
Damage to the Brain
As we mentioned previously, a catastrophic injury can be one that causes damage to the spinal cord or brain. The brain and spinal cord are essential for routine human movement, cognitive ability, and health. Moreover, brain injuries can lead to complications with motor movements, meaning even if the legs and arms are not physically injured, the connection that makes them move between the brain has been damaged or severed. If you or a family member suffered a brain injury that has resulted in major lifelong complications and was due to no fault of your own, you may be entitled to compensation.
