Catastrophic injuries aren’t your regular cuts and broken bones. They’re permanently life-changing. These injuries often affect your ability to work, live independently, and carry out daily routines. They demand long-term care and create a massive emotional and financial burden.
Examples of catastrophic injuries include:
These cases require a skilled legal team that understands the mental, physical, and emotional toll of trauma and how to secure the full financial support you’ll need.
While catastrophic injuries can happen anywhere, certain situations can put you at higher risk. We handle serious injury cases in Kaufman that resulted from:
Kaufman County sees heavy truck traffic. When an 18-wheeler collides with a smaller vehicle, the injuries are often devastating. We hold trucking companies accountable for unsafe drivers, poor maintenance, and regulatory violations.
From oil and gas sites to local warehouses and construction zones, dangerous work environments can result in life-changing trauma. When third-party negligence is involved, like defective equipment or safety lapses, we help clients pursue more than just workers’ comp.
Falls from roofs, faulty scaffolding, crane failures, or heavy equipment malfunctions can cause catastrophic injuries. If a general contractor, equipment supplier, or other party acted carelessly, we’ll fight to hold them liable.
Explosions, equipment malfunctions, or toxic exposure on oil sites can cause severe injuries. We understand the unique risks oilfield workers face and how to build strong legal claims around them.
Negligent drivers, poorly designed roads, and distracted motorists can lead to catastrophic outcomes. Whether you were riding a motorcycle or driving your car, we pursue compensation for long-term impacts like brain injuries or paralysis.
When a property owner fails to fix a dangerous condition, such as broken stairs, wet floors, or poor lighting, people can suffer traumatic injuries. We investigate thoroughly and hold negligent owners accountable.
Severe injuries often mean staggering costs, which is something insurance companies don’t want to pay. They’ll try to minimize your claim, delay the process, or offer a fast payout that won’t come close to covering your future needs.
Our attorneys know how to counter their tactics since we understand:
If they don’t offer a fair settlement, we’re ready to go to trial to get your case the justice it deserves.
Emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, long-term rehab, medications, assistive devices, and future medical care.
Covering your past income, plus future financial losses due to your disability.
Physical pain, psychological trauma, and mental distress that come from severe industries.
If you can’t walk, work, or live independently, these damages cover the alterations you have to make to your lifestyle.
The hobbies, social relationships, and everyday activities you can no longer enjoy.
Wheelchair ramps, prosthetics, or mobility aids to make your home functional for your new situation.
In fatal cases, we pursue funeral costs, lost income, and loss of companionship.
In most personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit in Texas. But due to the discovery rule, exceptions apply in cases where symptoms are delayed, a minor was involved, or a government entity was involved.
Don’t assume your opportunity has passed. Our attorneys review your case and help you understand the timeline you have to act.
We work quickly to preserve the details of your case and explain how much time you have to pursue legal action.
The right legal team can make all the difference after a catastrophic injury. Families and individuals in East Texas choose us because we offer:
Since catastrophic injuries are usually the most complex, we take on a full, investigative approach. That includes:
Yes. Family members or legal guardians can file on their loved one’s behalf. We’ll guide you through the process and help you set up guardianship if needed.
If another company or subcontractor was negligent, you may be able to sue them in addition to receiving workers' comp. We can help you make additional claims if you’re not getting the compensation you need.
You don’t pay any upfront costs to hire us. Since we work on a contingency fee, we only get paid if we win your case.
We explore all available options, including your own uninsured motorist coverage or other third parties that may share liability.
You didn’t choose this injury, but you can choose what happens next. Let Biggs & Greenslade help you fight for the care, resources, and justice you deserve.
