A catastrophic injury is more than just serious. It's permanently life-changing. These are injuries that significantly impair a person's ability to perform daily tasks, work, or enjoy life the way they once did. They often require long-term medical treatment, ongoing care, or lifelong adjustments.
Common examples include:
What makes these cases different is the scope of the impact. A catastrophic injury doesn’t just affect your health. It affects your ability to earn a living, care for your family, and live independently. That’s why these cases demand a serious legal strategy.
Catastrophic injuries can happen anywhere, but certain environments and accidents carry a higher risk.
In Waco and the surrounding areas, we commonly see cases that arise from:
I-35 runs straight through Waco, bringing with it a high volume of 18-wheelers and commercial traffic. When a big rig collides with a smaller vehicle, the results can be devastating. We have experience taking on large trucking companies and navigating the complex federal regulations that come with these cases.
From construction sites to manufacturing plants, workers in Central Texas face serious hazards. While workers’ comp may cover some medical costs, it often falls short when it comes to long-term care. In some cases, third-party claims can help bridge that gap.
From scaffolding falls and crane collapses to electrocutions and heavy machinery accidents, construction sites are full of dangers. When safety protocols are ignored or equipment fails, the resulting injuries can be permanently disabling. We help injured workers pursue third-party claims when someone other than their employer is responsible.
Oil and gas work is some of the most hazardous in Texas. Explosions, equipment failures, and transportation-related incidents often result in catastrophic injuries. At Biggs & Greenslade, we understand the unique risks oilfield workers face and fight for the full compensation they deserve after a serious accident.
Motorcyclists and drivers in Waco face the same risks as anywhere else, but when speed, inattention, or poor road design leads to a wreck, the consequences can be permanent.
Falls from heights, unsafe stairwells, or dangerous property conditions can lead to spinal cord injuries or brain damage. Property owners have a duty to keep their spaces safe. When they don’t, they can be held accountable.
Insurance companies know exactly how much is on the line in a catastrophic injury case. That’s why they work hard to downplay your injuries, delay your claim, or offer a quick settlement that doesn't come close to covering the full cost of your recovery.
You shouldn’t have to handle your claim on your own. You need a legal team who understands:
At Biggs & Greenslade, we build every case with the assumption that it might go to court. That approach gives us the leverage we need to fight for maximum compensation.
Emergency treatment, surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation, physical therapy, medications, and future medical care.
Not just what you've lost already, but what you're no longer able to earn due to disability.
Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, and the trauma of the accident.
For clients who can no longer walk, work, or live independently, these damages reflect a lifetime of altered circumstances.
The loss of hobbies, social relationships, and everyday pleasures you can no longer enjoy.
Such as wheelchair ramps, prosthetics, or adaptive vehicles.
In fatal cases, families may recover funeral costs, lost income, and loss of companionship.
If you’ve suffered a catastrophic injury in Texas, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. This time limit is called the statute of limitations, and missing it could mean giving up your right to compensation.
That said, not every case follows the same timeline. Thanks to the discovery rule, the clock might start later if the injury - or the negligence that caused it - wasn't immediately obvious. This often applies to cases involving delayed symptoms or hidden injuries.
There are also exceptions for claims involving minors, government agencies, or delayed medical diagnoses. In those situations, the timeline may look very different. The best way to protect your rights is to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
At Biggs & Greenslade, we can help you figure out how much time you have left to file - and we’ll move quickly to preserve your claim. Don’t assume you’re out of time until we’ve had a chance to review your situation.
Choosing the right lawyer after a catastrophic injury is critical. Your attorney should understand the stakes and have the resources to see your case through to the end.
Here’s why Waco trusts Biggs & Greenslade:
Catastrophic injury claims are some of the most complex in personal injury law.
We take a comprehensive approach to every case, including:
Yes. A legal guardian or family member may be able to file on their behalf. We can help you understand your options and set up guardianship if needed.
Workers' comp might cover some medical bills, but in cases involving third-party negligence (like defective equipment or subcontractor mistakes), you may have grounds for an additional claim.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we win your case.
There are still options. We can explore uninsured motorist coverage, third-party liability, and other sources of compensation.
You didn’t ask for this injury, but you can take control of what happens next.
The Waco personal injury lawyers at Biggs & Greenslade are ready to stand up for your rights and help you rebuild your future.
