Catastrophic Injury Claims in Bradford County
Under §10284 of United States Code, a catastrophic injury means “any injury, the direct and proximate consequences of which permanently prevent an individual from performing any gainful work.” Put more simply, a catastrophic injury is one that keeps you from working.
In some states and situations, the definition of catastrophic injury is expanded to indicate injuries where it is impossible to live your life the way you did before the accident.
Unfortunately, many catastrophic injury cases involve negligence, which is the legal term for carelessness. If someone else’s carelessness caused your catastrophic injury, the Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A. can help.

Types of Catastrophic Injuries
The 2 most common catastrophic injuries we see at our firm are traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. Other types of catastrophic injuries include:
- Amputation
- Burn injuries
- Eye injuries and blindness
- Disfigurement
- Paralysis
- Orthopedic injuries
- Serious fractures
- And more
Amputation injuries and orthopedic injuries (foot injuries) interfere with mobility, and injuries that affect the central nervous system (such as spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries) can lead to paralysis, permanent disabilities, and serious complications.
If you’ve sustained a catastrophic injury due to another’s negligence, you may need to file a lawsuit in order to secure your future. Our Starke catastrophic injury attorneys can help.

Long-Term Consequences of Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries have lasting consequences. After sustaining a spinal cord injury or a traumatic brain injury, you may require medical care for the rest of your life. Additionally, you may never be able to return to work or support yourself or your family financially. The long-term consequences of a catastrophic injury can change your life, but you can still have a fulfilling life with the correct care and resources.
Filing a catastrophic injury lawsuit cannot only help you account for pain and suffering and other emotional losses, but it can also help you afford:
- Medical bills
- Physical therapy
- Counseling
- Other rehabilitative care
- Assistive care and devices
- Time away from work
Catastrophic injury claims are designed to provide for you and your family for the rest of your life. If the person filing a catastrophic injury case succumbs to their injuries before a case is complete, the damages will enter their estate and help support their beneficiaries.
