Florida Catastrophic Injury
Lawyer & Attorney
Are You a Victim of a
Catastrophic Injury in Florida ?
 The Florida
spinal cord injury and brain injury lawyers at Hudgins Law Firm
have extensive experience in gauging the full costs of current
and future needs for victims of catastrophic injuries. We
have obtained substantial settlements and jury verdicts in
personal injury litigation and negotiation for clients.
We consult with top medical experts and planners to develop a
life care plan for victims of
spine injury, head injury, severe burns, vision loss,
lost limbs, paralysis, and all forms of major, life-changing
injury. We account for future medical treatment and personal
care, medical equipment and transportation, loss of income
potential, and compensatory damages for loss of enjoyment. Our
spinal cord injury attorneys work closely with victims and their
doctors to ensure that they receive only the total compensation
required for a lifelong injury.
Catastrophic Injuries - An Overview
A catastrophic injury or illness usually occurs suddenly
and without warning. Injuries that are considered catastrophic
(due to the enormous impact they have on the lives of the
individuals who experience them) include the following: brain
injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, severe burns, multiple
fractures, or other, neurological disorders. A catastrophic
injury or illness very often causes severe disruption to the
central nervous system, which in turn affects many other systems
of the body. In addition to possible loss of movement,
sensation, and communicative and cognitive abilities, the injury
or illness may impact respiration, circulation, skin, the
urinary system, the gastrointestinal system, and other body
systems. Management of such an injury is complex and may require
the expertise of a team of health professionals including
physicians, consultants, nurses, therapists, and counselors.
Clearly, the long-term needs of someone who has experienced this
type of injury far surpass those of individuals with less severe
injuries. Individuals may recover from some catastrophic
injuries if they receive proper, early medical treatment;
however, others may experience permanent disability, significant
suffering, and reduced life spans. If you or your loved one has
suffered catastrophic injuries as the result of an accident,
consult an attorney to learn your rights to compensation. A
lawyer experienced in catastrophic injury litigation can help
you learn what your rights are.
If a catastrophic injury was caused by the negligent or
intentional act of another, or by a dangerous or defective
product, a personal injury claim by the victim will be an
integral factor in his or her future quality of life, including
the quality of the medical care and other support he or she will
receive. Because of the huge financial impact a catastrophic
injury has, one of the most important aspects of bringing a
personal injury claim is the determination of the value of such
a claim. A person whose earning capacity has been substantially
reduced and who is likely facing a lifetime of care requires an
experienced attorney, with specialized knowledge of his or her
particular type of injury, to ensure that the injured person
obtains all of the financial support he or she will need,
possibly for decades to come.
The long-term implications of many catastrophic injuries
do not surface or become apparent until years after the original
injury. For example, individuals who are injured as children may
experience changes in their abilities/disabilities as they grow,
requiring surgeries or other medical intervention to accommodate
their growth. Similarly, a burn victim might continue to undergo
reconstructive surgeries for many years after the original
injury. Thus, an attorney who understands the long-term
implications of such injuries will be better able to ensure that
victims receive just compensation and sufficient resources for
the future.
