Experienced Catastrophic Injury Attorney in Minnesota
Any injury sustained in an accident can be painful and inconvenient, but some injuries are even more significant and have widespread consequences. We call these catastrophic injuries, and they are often sustained because of another party’s negligence. Catastrophic injuries are common after car, motorcycle or semi truck accidents, especially when the victim is a pedestrian. A victim may also be faced with a serious catastrophic injury after a fall, dog bite, or rollover accident. These are situations where another party may be liable, such as in the cases of premises or products liability. Sadly, all of these scenarios illustrate situations that could have been avoided if the responsible party had not been careless or negligent.
After you or a family member suffers a catastrophic injury, what’s the first thing you should do? It’s important to work with a catastrophic injury lawyer as soon as possible after an accident. But don’t trust just any attorney to handle your case when there is so much on the line. Choose an experienced personal injury lawyer in Minnesota who has dedicated years of their career to helping accident victims like you.

Catastrophic Injuries Cause Lasting Damage
None of us believe that we will suffer a devastating injury as we are going about our day-to-day lives. We certainly do not stop to think about how a catastrophic injury would completely change everything. Yet catastrophic injuries can have some of the most long lasting effects on a victim. Unfortunately, many catastrophic injury victims we work with will face lifelong struggles and may experience chronic pain after their accident. Your accident may have completely changed the trajectory of your life.
Catastrophic injuries may include:
- Neck and back injuries including spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis
- Chronic pain that affects the way you function day-to-day and live your life
- Broken bones
- Serious injuries to pedestrians and cyclists hit by an automobile
- Burns and scars
- Amputations
- Traumatic brain injuries that may affect memory, functioning, motor skills, etc.
Even catastrophic injury victims who go on to lead fulfilling and happy lives may miss out on certain events and milestones that they otherwise would have been able to enjoy. While it’s impossible to put a price tag on these life events, we can work to obtain financial compensation that addresses your ongoing pain and suffering.
