Catastrophic Injuries

Recover Compensation for Any Catastrophic Injury Suffered

A catastrophic injury is any injury that results in permanent disability, including permanent disfigurement, a long-lasting medical condition, or irreparable physical damage. These types of injuries can include severe burns, birth defects or complications, paralysis, traumatic brain injuries, and more. If you or a loved one suffered an injury of this nature, you may be entitled to receive financial compensation for the harm done to you.

At the Law Office of Keith Lamar, we are dedicated to recovering the compensation our clients need to move forward with their lives following an accident. By working with Mr. Lamar, you can get the support and counsel you need during this time. We are committed to your success and recovery and will not accept payment until you are awarded compensation for your case.

Serious Injury Means Serious Expenses

Catastrophic injuries are unique in that the medical care and treatment that is required will often continue to incur over years to come. This makes it more difficult to accurately determine the full scope of medical expenses that will result from the original incident. Furthermore, catastrophic injuries can be gateway injuries in that they can cause additional, even more severe impairments down the line. Thus, if you have suffered such an injury in an accident, it is essential to have a competent and aggressive attorney who can fight for every penny that you need and deserve.

The more severe the injury, the more likely it is that the victim will be forced to significantly alter the way they live their life. This can mean anything from learning to function with a permanent disability to being forced to find a new career path. It is reasonable and understandable to expect such victims to experience immense emotional distress and even depression at the sudden, preventable, and dramatic change they have been forced to endure. At the Law Office of Keith Lamar, we want to help you hold responsible parties accountable for the consequences of their actions.

Catastrophic Injuries in the Workplace

Although many catastrophic injuries are caused by traffic accidents and medical negligence, workplace accidents are another leading cause of devastating personal injuries. Some employees are at a higher risk of suffering a catastrophic injury, depending on their profession. For example, construction workers are more prone to involvement in accidents at their workplace, which can involve heavy equipment, power tools, and large beams.

The following occupations often bring a high risk for catastrophic injuries:

  • Construction workers
  • Roofers
  • Sanitation workers
  • Offshore or maritime workers
  • Farmers
  • Electrical power workers
  • Miners
  • Law enforcement

If you were involved in an accident at your place of work that was caused by the negligence or recklessness of an employer or co-worker, it is essential that you reach out to an experienced and compassionate attorney. Most employers carry workers’ compensation insurance, to ensure that victims of workplace accidents can receive the support they need. However, as with most insurance providers, these companies do not have your best interest at heart and will often attempt to underestimate your injuries and offer you a settlement that is far less than what you deserve.

We do have your best interest and fight for your compensation. Give us a call today to speak with our attorney.
