In Fort Worth, Texas, catastrophic injuries are serious, long-term, or permanent injuries that often result in disability and can profoundly affect an individual’s ability to work and enjoy life. These injuries can be caused by a myriad of incidents, including car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, construction site mishaps, slip and fall incidents, medical malpractice, and even intentional crimes like assault. Victims typically require extensive assistance, potentially even requiring full-time professional care, as their capacity to lead the same lifestyle they had prior to their injury is significantly diminished. A strong catastrophic injury case typically revolves around three key factors:

• Severity of the injury – The case becomes stronger with the severity of the injury. Catastrophic injuries usually involve permanent disabilities such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, or severe burns.

• Negligence or fault – The ability to prove that the injury was due to someone else’s negligence or intentional actions significantly strengthens the case.

• Damages and financial impact – Showcasing the financial impact of the injury, including medical expenses, lost wages, and future care costs, bolsters the case.
