Pasco County Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

FL Injury Lawyers (Home) / Pasco County Personal Injury Lawyer / Pasco County Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury, you may be overwhelmed by all the issues you now must deal with: enormous medical bills, lost income, terrible pain and suffering, and the possibility of months or years of rehabilitation.

Fortunately, our team of experienced and knowledgeable Pasco County catastrophic injury attorneys has helped many people in these situations obtain the compensation they are entitled to so that they could get their lives back on track. They can do the same for you. En Español.

How Catastrophes Happen

Many types of accidents can lead to catastrophic injuries, such as:

  • Automobile collisions
  • Airplane crashes
  • Fires
  • Botched surgery or other medical malpractice
  • Boating accidents
  • Train derailments

Sometimes catastrophic injuries can arise from even seemingly minor incidents. A simple slip-and-fall mishap on an icy or broken sidewalk can be catastrophic if the result is a traumatic brain injury that leads to permanent impairment of a person’s intellect or personality.

However, if your catastrophic injury was caused by the negligence of an individual or corporation, then you are entitled to restitution in the form of monetary damages and a catastrophic injury lawyer from Pasco County can help.

Incapacitating Injuries

Some of the most devastating injuries a person can suffer include:

  • Paralysis
  • Burns
  • Brain impairment
  • Damage to the heart, kidneys, and other vital organs
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Dismembered or broken limbs
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder

A catastrophic injury can take a productive, happy person and leave them totally dependent on relatives or around-the-clock medical care. Family members can be affected almost as much as the victim, as they must rearrange their lives so that they can take care of their loved one.

Even if some of these expenses are covered by insurance, they can quickly surpass the level of coverage that an average person would have. That is why it is so important to identify the negligent party and require that they pay for the results of their carelessness.

Proving Negligence

Negligence is the failure to exercise the degree of care that a reasonable person would have shown under the circumstances. A catastrophic injury lawyer from Pasco County can help in pointing out and determining negligence.

Many personal injury cases boil down to an issue of foreseeability. Would the typical person have foreseen that their activity created a significant risk of harm to another person? If so, they can be liable for that harm.

For example, a person who lives in an apartment building has a right to trust that the electrical wiring is maintained in order to reduce the risk of fire, and that the units have functioning smoke detectors in case something does go wrong.

If the owner of the building fails to comply with these basic rules, and a fire causes tenants catastrophic injury, then the victims are entitled to compensation under the law.

Victims of catastrophic injuries often miss out on substantial wages during their period of recovery. In fact, they often never return to the level of income they had enjoyed before the disaster. These victims deserve monetary damages – not just for medical costs (although those can be crushing), but for all the ways that their quality of life has been reduced.

Our dedicated and skillful personal injury attorneys know how to win cases like this. They understand the importance of evidence – thorough medical examinations, physical and photographic details of the accident scene, eyewitness testimony, and more.

But the effort to build such a case should begin as soon as possible after the catastrophic injury occurs. So don’t wait another day before getting the Pasco County catastrophic injury attorney you need.
