Catastrophic injuries aren’t your typical cuts or broken bones. They fundamentally change how you live your life. These are the types of injuries that can strip away your independence, ability to work, and even your basic daily functions.
Examples of catastrophic injuries include:
The emotional, physical, and financial toll of these injuries is immense, which is why your legal team needs to be prepared for the fight ahead.
Catastrophic injuries can strike anywhere, but certain situations put people at greater risk. In Henderson and the surrounding areas, we handle serious injury cases stemming from:
Highway traffic through Henderson means collisions with large trucks are a constant risk. When a crash with an 18-wheeler happens, the injuries are often catastrophic. We know how to take on the trucking companies that try to dodge responsibility.
Industrial sites, oilfields, and construction zones across East Texas are filled with hazards. While workers’ comp may cover part of the cost, it often falls short when it comes to long-term care. We pursue additional claims when negligence by a third party is involved.
Falls from scaffolding, crane collapses, and machinery malfunctions are just a few of the ways workers get seriously hurt on construction sites. If faulty equipment or safety violations played a role, we’ll hold the responsible parties accountable.
Henderson is no stranger to oil and gas operations or the dangers that come with them. Explosions, equipment failures, and other oilfield accidents often leave workers with catastrophic injuries. Our team understands the industry and how to fight for injured workers.
Negligent drivers, poor road design, or distracted motorists can turn an ordinary drive into a life-altering event. Motorcycle and auto accidents frequently lead to brain injuries, paralysis, or other severe problems.
When property owners fail to fix hazards, such as broken railings, faulty stairs, or unsafe surfaces, the results can be devastating. We ensure property owners are held accountable for keeping their spaces safe.
Catastrophic injuries are costly for insurance companies, which is why they work so hard to downplay your injuries, delay your claim, or offer a quick settlement that doesn’t cover most of the cost of your full recovery.
Don’t fight the insurance companies alone. Let our legal team take on the fight since we understand:
Our team builds every case with the mindset that it could go to trial, giving us the leverage to negotiate aggressively and fight for full, fair compensation.
Emergency treatment, surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation, physical therapy, medications, and future medical care.
Covering both what you’ve already lost and your reduced earning potential due to your disability.
For the physical pain, emotional hardships, anxiety, and trauma that come with severe injuries.
For clients who can no longer walk, work, or live independently, these damages reflect a lifetime of altered circumstances.
For the loss of hobbies, social relationships, and everyday activities that you’re no longer able to enjoy.
Making your home functional for your new situation with wheelchair ramps, prosthetics, or adaptive vehicles.
If the accident involved the death of a loved one, families can recover funeral costs, lost income, and loss of companionship.
In most cases, Texas gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. But depending on the details of your case, the timeline may be different due to the “discovery rule,” especially for injury cases involving delayed symptoms, minors, or incidents with government entities.
Don’t make assumptions about your legal rights. Our attorneys can review your situation and help you understand exactly how much time you have left to act.
We move quickly to preserve the details of your case and help you understand how much time you have to file.
After a catastrophic injury, choosing the right legal team is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Here’s why individuals and families across East Texas choose us:
Since catastrophic injury claims are some of the most complex cases, we take a comprehensive approach to every case. This strategy includes:
Yes, legal guardians or family members may be able to file on their loved one’s behalf. We walk you through the process and help you set up guardianship if needed.
While workers’ comp might cover some of your medical bills, it may not cover all of them, especially in cases with third-party negligence, such as defective equipment or subcontractor mistakes. If you’re not getting the full compensation you need, you may be able to make additional claims.
There is no upfront cost to hiring us. We work on a contingency fee basis, so we only get paid if we win your case.
You still have options. Our team will look at uninsured motorist coverage, third-party liability, and other sources of compensation.
While you can’t control what happened with your injury, you can control what happens next.
