Catastrophic Injury Lawyer
Catastrophic injuries can cause permanent disabilities and require ongoing medical care. At The Law Firm for Truc Safety, our lawyers assess all current and future damages when handling severe injury cases.
Being involved in a collision with a fully loaded tractor-trailer is one of the most frightening experiences you can face on the road, particularly when the crash results in life-altering or fatal injuries. Pursuing fair civil compensation for such damages can be an overwhelming process, and without guidance from dedicated and compassionate attorneys, you may struggle to secure the full compensation you deserve.
If you have suffered a permanent and debilitating injury in a wreck caused by a negligent truck driver, you should prioritize seeking the help of a catastrophic injury lawyer. At our firm, we recognize our clients as individuals, not just case numbers. Our experienced truck accident attorneys, many of whom have commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs), work tirelessly to achieve the best possible resolution for every case.
What Makes a Truck Crash Injury Catastrophic?
Catastrophic injuries are defined by their severity and life-altering impact rather than specific legal criteria. These injuries typically result in permanent disabilities, require ongoing medical care, and create substantial financial burdens that extend far into the future.
Unlike less serious injuries that can heal with time and proper medical care, catastrophic injuries, such as spinal cord damage, severe brain trauma, limb loss, and severe burns, permanently alter an individual’s life in profound ways. Beyond the physical toll, these injuries often lead to significant financial and personal challenges.
These cases demand thorough legal representation that considers the full scope of your losses. While immediate costs like medical expenses and lost income are important, catastrophic injuries also create long-term financial needs including future medical care and reduced earning potential. An experienced attorney can help evaluate all aspects of your case and pursue comprehensive compensation.
Holding Trucking Companies Liable for Injuries
A severe accident attorney from the Law Firm for Truck Safety, LLP can help you not only with naming, estimating the value of, and demanding fair compensation for all the ways your injuries have affected you. While the truck driver is usually the person most directly at fault for your injuries, they are generally not the only party a truck accident lawsuit can help you hold accountable.
For example, it is often possible to hold trucking companies vicariously liable for negligence by a driver they employed, or directly liable for violations of federal trucking regulations. Likewise, if a truck wreck happens partly because of a mechanical failure, partial fault for that wreck might lie with a third-party mechanic who failed to service the truck properly or with a manufacturer that produced faulty truck parts.
