Types of Catastrophic Injury Cases We Handle

Our catastrophic injury attorneys handle all types of serious accident cases in Texas. This includes personal injury cases against negligent drivers, negligent businesses, insurance companies, and other parties. If you need to seek compensatory damages as a result of any of the following, our law firm is fully prepared to fight for full and fair compensation on your behalf under Texas law:

Aviation Accidents

We handle personal injury claims involving all types of aviation accidents in Texas. Whether you were injured in an accident caused by pilot error, inadequate maintenance, an airplane defect, or any other issue, our trial lawyers can fight for a full financial recovery on your behalf.

Car Accidents

Car accidents are among the most common causes of catastrophic injuries. Suffering severe injuries in a car accident can have drastic effects on a person’s life, and recovering compensation for chronic pain and the other financial and non-financial consequences of a serious car accident can be critical for moving on. We can help you if you suffered a catastrophic injury in an SUV accident or motorcycle accident as well.

Boating and Offshore Accidents

If you suffered a catastrophic injury in a boating accident or any other accident on Texas’s inland waters or offshore, you have clear legal rights. Our catastrophic injury attorneys can help you pursue compensation for your medical costs and other losses—and we can do so at no out-of-pocket cost to you.

Pedestrian, Cyclist, Golf Cart, ATV, and Scooter Accidents

Injuries from pedestrian, cyclist, golf cart, ATV, and scooter accidents often require extensive medical care, and they can lead to various other financial and non-financial costs as well. If you have a claim against a negligent driver or any other party, our catastrophic injury attorneys can use their experience to seek compensation for your economic damages and non-economic damages on your behalf.

Railroad Accidents

Our personal injury lawyers represent railroad workers, passengers, and other victims who have suffered serious injuries in railroad accidents. If you have a personal injury case related to a railroad accident in Texas, our law firm can seek full compensation for the costs of your medical treatment and the other financial and non-financial costs of your injuries.

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries due to the extreme forces involved. If you are dealing with catastrophic injuries resulting from truck driver negligence, trucking company negligence, or any other factor beyond your control, the experienced personal injury lawyers at our law firm can fight for the full compensation you deserve.

Workplace Accidents

Workplace accidents are common causes of catastrophic injuries as well. Suffering a severe injury at work can compromise a person’s ability to earn a living—in addition to leading to expensive bills for medical treatment and other financial and non-financial costs. If you suffered a spinal cord injury (SCI), traumatic brain injury (TBI), or any other catastrophic injury at work in Texas, our personal injury lawyers can fight for just compensation while you focus on your recovery.

Other Causes of Catastrophic Injuries (Including Spinal Cord Injuries and More)

Along with the types of accidents discussed above, our personal injury lawyers represent victims after all other types of serious accidents as well. This includes all accidents resulting in catastrophic injuries such as:

Multiple fractures
Nerve damage
Permanent scarring
Internal organ damage
Severe burns
Soft tissue damage
Spinal cord injuries (SCI)
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Other injuries that require extensive medical treatment

In most cases, seeking compensation for severe injuries from an accident involves dealing with the insurance companies. Our team, led by experienced personal injury lawyer James Bell, has extensive experience holding the insurance companies accountable. While this often involves negotiating an out-of-court settlement, we are fully prepared to fight for our clients’ legal rights in court when necessary.

Compensation Available to Victims in Catastrophic Injury Cases

Catastrophic injury victims have clear legal rights under Texas law. If someone else (or a company) is to blame for your injuries, our personal injury lawyers can help you seek just compensation for your:

Past and Present Medical Expenses and Other Out-of-Pocket Costs

Accident victims who have personal injury claims related to severe injuries can seek compensation for all of the medical expenses and other out-of-pocket costs they have incurred.

Future Medical Expenses and Other Out-of-Pocket Costs

Accident victims who have personal injury claims related to severe injuries can seek compensation for their future medical expenses and other out-of-pocket costs as well. This includes:

Medical bills for surgical procedures and inpatient care
Medical bills for outpatient care
Physical therapy and rehabilitation
Occupational therapy
The costs of working with life care planners and other specialists

This also includes prescriptions, medical devices, medical supplies, transportation, and other costs necessitated by your injuries. These costs can add up over a victim’s life, so it is important to make sure you are seeking the full compensation to which you are legally entitled.

Lost Wages and Lost Future Earning Capacity

When you suffer a catastrophic injury that prevents you from working, you are entitled to seek compensation for your lost wages and lost future earning capacity as well. This is true regardless of your education, your occupation, and the number of years you would have worked until retirement.

Non-Economic Damages for Physical Pain

Along with financial costs, victims of traumatic accidents are entitled to compensation for various non-financial costs as well. These include the costs of living with physical pain on a daily basis.

Non-Economic Damages for Emotional Trauma

In catastrophic injury cases, victims can also seek compensation for their emotional trauma. This includes trauma from the accident itself as well as the other psychological effects of living with a catastrophic injury.
