Catastrophic Injury Attorney in Mesquite: Fighting for Justice for Negligence Victims

If you’ve suffered an injury from an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, the stress can be overwhelming. When injuries are severe enough, they become classified as catastrophic. Understanding these cases is crucial for victims seeking fair compensation.

What Is a Catastrophic Injury Case in Texas?

A catastrophic injury significantly impacts a victim’s life, often leading to permanent disability. Unlike typical personal injury cases, where victims may recover fully, catastrophic injuries leave lasting effects. These can include scarring, loss of limbs, paralysis from spinal injuries, or brain damage that affects communication and daily living. Such conditions can prevent victims from living independently or earning a living, often necessitating long-term medical care.

What Kind of Compensation Is Available to Catastrophic Injury Victims?

Victims can seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. However, claims for catastrophic injuries usually have higher values due to the severity of the injuries. Economic damages cover medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. Additionally, victims may claim future medical costs and loss of earning capacity due to lifelong disabilities.

Can Premises Liability Cases Apply to Trespassers?

Victims may wonder if they can pursue criminal charges against the responsible party. Generally, personal injury cases focus on negligence in civil court, while criminal cases are handled separately. In some situations, like assault, victims can pursue both a personal injury claim and criminal prosecution. If a court finds gross negligence, it may award punitive damages to penalize the defendant for reckless behavior. However, punitive damages are not guaranteed in every case.
