What is a Catastrophic Injury?

In the world of personal injury, a catastrophic injury is defined as an impairment to the body that is so severe it causes permanent damage and prevents an individual from doing gainful work. These injuries are not to be taken lightly. Having a permanent disability may mean that not only do you lose your job, but you may also have to use medical equipment or a caregiver to perform everyday tasks.

The most common types of catastrophic injuries are:

The good news is, life can and will go on following such accidents. With enough treatment, care, and compensation, you have the opportunity to enjoy a rewarding life.

What Will Compensation Cover?

As you can imagine, myriad expenses are required to care for a catastrophic injury victim. These can include wheelchairs, physical therapy, and live-in caregivers to name a few.

One of the biggest challenges when it comes to catastrophic injuries is that the effects of them can persist, or even change, long after the accident occurred. For instance, someone who suffered a spinal cord injury could later develop respiratory problems.

In another example, a person may appear functional, but be suffering from a brain injury which gives them excruciating headaches, memory loss, and cognitive difficulties. Whatever your situation, we will calculate the long-term costs of your medical care to ensure you have enough compensation for ongoing treatment and other assistance you need.

We operate on a contingency basis, meaning you don’t pay us anything unless we win your case. A pre-established percentage will go to us and the rest of your settlement will cover your medical and other expenses now and into the future.

  • “Very knowledgeable in his craft.”
    I came to the Law Office of Dean Petrulakis after being referred from a friend. I was previously working with another firm who had done very little to help me, let alone communicate with me. Mr. Petrulakis took time to speak with me over the phone and after consideration of the difficulties related to my case, he agreed to take my case. I was very impressed and appreciative of the genuine concern and compassion he relayed. He is very knowledgeable in his craft, and equally kind and personable. He and his assistant Jennifer were amazing communicators who kept me well informed without delay. My case was handled quickly, professionally, and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Dean Petrulakis to everyone/anyone who has been injured and needs representation.
