What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is one that permanently prevents the victim from performing any gainful work or has a profound, lasting impact on the quality and nature of the person's life. These injuries typically require extensive medical care, rehabilitation, and long-term assistance.

William Lawson concentrates his practice on exactly these kinds of cases — the cases where the stakes are highest and the need for skilled, relentless advocacy is most critical.

Types of Catastrophic Injuries

• Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and severe head injuries
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Severe burn injuries (fire or chemical)
• Amputations and loss of limb
• Multiple fractures and complex orthopedic injuries
• Severe internal organ damage
• Disfigurement and scarring
• Blindness and loss of hearing

The Challenge of Catastrophic Injury Cases

Catastrophic injury claims are complex. They involve large amounts of money, sophisticated insurance defense teams, and the need for extensive expert testimony on medical, vocational, and economic issues. These cases should not be handled by a lawyer in general practice or a lawyer who treats serious injury as a routine matter.

William Lawson brings decades of experience and a deep network of medical and expert resources to every catastrophic injury case he handles.

Fighting for Full Compensation

Catastrophic injury victims deserve full and fair compensation for all their losses — past and future. This includes not just medical bills but lost earning capacity, lifetime care costs, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and the strain and harm felt by family members.
