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.

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?
