Starke Catastrophic Injury Lawyers
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.
Call us at (855) 933-3881 today to put our 100+ years of collective legal experience on your side.
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.
