Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

Victims of catastrophic injuries may be temporarily or permanently disabled, which can have a major impact on every aspect of their lives, from not being able to return to work to preventing them from participating in the activities they once loved. If you suffered a catastrophic injury due to the negligence of another, the legal team at Loncar Lyon Jenkins can help. Our experienced catastrophic injury lawyers can help you pursue compensation that will cover the cost of ongoing medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and more. We know how this type of injury can impact your life and how important it is to recover every penny of compensation you’re entitled to, which is why we will go above and beyond to fight for the fair settlement you deserve.

Should I Hire a Catastrophic Injury Lawyer?

Not only can a catastrophic injury cause significant pain and discomfort, but it can also be financially devastating. Even if an accident victim has medical insurance, the cost of hospitalization, multiple surgeries, rehabilitation, and other medical expenses can quickly run into the tens of thousands of dollars. During this time, the accident victim is out of work, struggling to make ends meet. In some cases, the injuries are so severe that they may never be able to return to work.

If you were injured in an accident or incident that was caused by the negligence of another, you deserve compensation.

At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our catastrophic injury lawyers will help you fight back. We can build a strong case and help you recover maximum compensation. While no amount of money can make up for the harm you have suffered, it can help you continue to receive the care you need and move forward with your life.

What is a Catastrophic Injury?

Catastrophic injuries are so severe that they permanently affect individuals. This type of injury can cause scarring and disfigurement, prevent someone from being able to carry out normal daily activities, and can even make it impossible for them to ever return to work, resulting in a lifetime of lost earning opportunities.

A catastrophic injury is more likely to impact the accident victim’s entire family compared to less serious injuries. A family member may have to act as a full time caregiver for someone that suffered a type of catastrophic injury, such as spinal cord damage, amputations, or a traumatic brain injury. The family is also faced with costs that are related to ongoing care, such as:

Rehabilitation
Medication
Live-in nursing care
Physical therapy
Occupational therapy
Medical bills
Travel expenses
Medical devices
Modifications to the home and vehicle

A catastrophic injury can also cause mental anguish, anxiety, depression, loss of quality of life, PTSD, and may have other devastating effects on the accident victim’s emotional wellbeing.

If you want an attorney that treats you like family, answers all your questions with ease and will fight for you, just ask for Justin Edwards! It was such a relief knowing he was on my side. He followed through with everything he promised and that is a rare attribute to find in a person these days. Just go ahead and give them a call!

The guidance and patience exhibited by Attorney LaRue and his team were paramount in the successful navigation of this event for my family and I. In a perfect world I won't have to ring his phone anytime soon, but should the Truck of Life dump on me again, I wouldn't hesitate to dial them up.

My attorney David was realistic, thoughtful and genuine as well. Overall I was grateful for their help navigating a stressful experience. I would absolutely recommend this law office if you have any personal injury concerns. I was taken care of and spoken to with respect each step of the way.
