Catastrophic Injury Lawyer in Fort Worth
Real Results for the Seriously Injured
When an injury is severe enough to permanently change how someone lives, works, and cares for themselves, the stakes of a legal claim are higher than in an average personal injury case, and so is the level of preparation it demands. Our attorneys have secured results in cases involving exactly this level of harm, such as a $5,750,000 settlement for a client who fell from a roof on a construction job and a $1,000,050 settlement for a client injured in an assault.
Mizani Law Firm represents catastrophic injury victims across Fort Worth, Dallas, and the surrounding communities in Texas. Our trial-ready approach shows insurance companies we will not settle for less than what our clients deserve. This could not be more important when it comes to catastrophic injuries and the ongoing impact they have on a person's life.

What Makes an Injury "Catastrophic"
Not every serious injury qualifies as "catastrophic" in the legal sense, though the line isn't always obvious. When evaluating the strength and viability of a catastrophic injury case, several key factors come into play.
Attorneys and courts generally look at three things:
- Severity of the injury: Permanent or long-term impairments, such as paralysis, brain injury, amputation, or severe burns, generally make for a stronger claim than injuries that fully resolve.
- Negligence or fault: The case depends on showing that another party's negligent or intentional conduct caused the injury.
- Financial and personal impact: Medical expenses, lost earning capacity, the cost of long-term or full-time care, and the injury's effect on daily life all factor into what the claim is worth.

-
Evidence typically includes photographs of the scene, witness statements, medical records, and often expert testimony connecting the injury to long-term or permanent effects. Our Fort Worth catastrophic injury attorneys work to gather and present this evidence effectively.
-
Many catastrophic injury claims settle without a trial, but some do proceed to court, particularly when the insurance company won't offer a fair settlement given the severity of the injury. We prepare every case as if it's going to trial, so you're not at a disadvantage either way.
-
It depends on whether your employer carries workers' compensation insurance. If they do, workers' comp benefits are generally your exclusive remedy against your employer, though you may still be able to pursue a claim against another liable party, such as a negligent driver or equipment manufacturer. If your employer is a "non-subscriber" (Texas is one of the few states where that's legal) you may be able to sue them directly instead.
-
A denial isn't the end of the road. An attorney can review the basis for the denial, gather additional evidence if needed, and pursue an appeal or file suit if the denial isn't justified.
