Toledo Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

The class of injuries that leave people in the most pain, with the most vulnerability to insurance denials are catastrophic injuries. A catastrophic injury is a life-changing, potentially fatal event that costs more to recover from and may require lifelong care. Insurance companies want to find any way they can to avoid paying for these injuries and will take whatever steps available to deny you care. But you don’t have to do this without help.

We make a difference for our clients by providing toughness, and advocacy in the face of a motivated, well-resourced insurance team that only wants to minimize their financial obligations. You deserve care and compensation for your injuries, and we’ll fight to get it for you.

What Qualifies As A Catastrophic Injury?

Technically speaking, a catastrophic injury is not legally different from any other type of injury you may suffer in a car crash or any other type of accident. What makes an injury “catastrophic” is the level of care and recovery you will need. These types of injuries often include:

• Traumatic brain injuries: Brain injuries can lead to permanent intellectual disability, personality change.
• Spinal cord injuries: Spinal cord injuries are synonymous with nerve damage, paralysis and yearslong recovery.
• Burn injuries: Burns may seem minor to most, but when they cover an extensive portion of the body, they are life threatening due to the severity of the burns and the risk of infection.
• Amputations: The outright loss of a limb or irreparable damage to a limb or digit means that a person will need lifelong mobility or prosthetic aids.

The reality of a catastrophic injury comes down to costs. Anyone who suffers a catastrophic injury will need continual and potentially lifelong medical assistance. Even a relatively minor aid, such as a prosthetic, will need continual upkeep and eventual replacement as it wears out. Add to that, disfigurement and loss of limbs come with their own striking level of psychological consequences.
