Catastrophic Personal Injuries

Catastrophic injuries are generally devastating and permanent in nature. They happen suddenly and without warning and often involve severe disruptions or impairments to one or more bodily systems.  Catastrophic inuries include:  brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, loss of organs, severe burns, multiple fractures, sexual assault, or nerve injuries. 

The causes of catastrophic injuries are as diverse as the injuries themselves.  Catastrophic injuries result from errors and omissions of doctors/healthcare providers, defective products, automobile/truck accidents, automobile/pedestrian accidents, assaults, batteries, and many other negligent and intentional acts.

Treatment and management of catastrophic injuries is complex.  Often, a team of health professionals is necessary including physicians, consultants, psychologists, nurses, and therapists.  Clearly, the long-term needs of someone who has experienced this type of injury far surpass those of individuals with less severe injuries. Individuals may recover from some catastrophic injuries if they receive proper, early medical treatment; however, others may experience permanent disability, significant suffering, and reduced life spans.

If you or your loved one has suffered catastrophic injuries as the result of an accident or intentional act, an attorney can help you understand what your rights are.  Should you seek legal assistance, you will want to find an attorney who is experienced in handling complex injuries and complex legal issues.  The lawyers at Shevlin Smith in Fairfax, Virginia have such experience.
