Types of Catastrophic Injury Cases Our St. Petersburg Attorneys Handle

Our St. Petersburg catastrophic injury lawyers handle a wide range of cases in which victims suffer serious, debilitating, and life-changing injuries. When you are likely to suffer from physical, emotional, and financial losses for the rest of your life, let us guide you.

Some of the types of cases our catastrophic injury attorneys can help you with involve:

• Traumatic brain injuries: TBIs are often the result of forceful blows to the head, causing coma, cognitive decline, rapid mood changes, and memory loss. They may happen in car accidents, slip and falls, trip and falls, and numerous other accidents.
• Spinal cord injuries: Victims with partial or complete paralysis due to nerve damage in the spine often face a long road to recovery. These injuries often happen due to car and truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, or premises liability, and often result in the need for assistive devices.
• Amputations: We help those who suffer amputations due to a traumatic event, such as workplace accidents, truck accidents, or others. This can change mobility and make independent living much more challenging.
• Severe burns: Burns can cause scarring, nerve damage, and infections. If you have third- or fourth-degree burns from chemical, thermal, or electrical injuries, you may have a catastrophic injury.

Some people suffer loss of mobility, loss of vision, or impairment to their hearing. They may struggle with having help in their home. You may be one of the many unable to go back to work.
