What is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is any injury that causes a permanent disability, a lasting disability, or a life-threatening injury. The identification of an injury as catastrophic can be important because it will show the insurance company that your case needs to be taken seriously. A medical provider might be the first one to label your injury as such. We can use your medical records to show it.

Our team helps clients who have suffered the following types of catastrophic injuries:

Catastrophic injuries often require long-term medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care. The victims may need adaptive equipment, home modifications, or continuous support for daily living.

In Missouri, catastrophic injury claims are typically brought against negligent parties whose careless or reckless actions caused the harm—such as distracted drivers, unsafe property owners, or negligent employers. These claims aim to recover compensation for not only immediate medical costs but also for the profound lifelong impact on the victim’s quality of life.

Damages in a Catastrophic Injury Case

What are you owed from the person who catastrophically hurt you? The answer will be unique to your case and no one else’s. Our attorneys can help calculate your full damages in a catastrophic injury case, so you are not leaving even a dollar unclaimed.

Damages that can add to the value of your catastrophic injury case are:

Permanent disabilities
Pain and suffering
Medical bills
Lost wages

The future costs of your lost wages and medical bills should also be factored into your case. If we do this, then your case might be worth much more than you ever imagined.

Catastrophic Injury Claim FAQs

How is a catastrophic injury different from a regular personal injury?

A catastrophic injury results in permanent disability or loss of function. These cases involve higher compensation due to their long-term effects and extensive medical costs.

How long do I have to file a claim in Missouri?

Missouri’s statute of limitations generally gives you five years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. However, certain exceptions may apply, so it’s important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.

What if my loved one suffered a fatal injury?

If a catastrophic injury results in death, surviving family members may file a wrongful death claim to seek justice and compensation for their loss.

Do I need a lawyer to handle my catastrophic injury case?

Yes. These cases are often complex and high-stakes. Having an experienced Joplin catastrophic injury lawyer ensures that your rights are protected and that you receive fair compensation for your lifelong needs.
