What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

While all injuries that you suffer are life-changing, some injuries can have a permanent outcome on your quality of life. If an injury has caused you any of the following issues, it may be considered a catastrophic injury:

• Inability to work or maintain employment
• Need for ongoing medical care or assistance
• Loss of independence in daily activities
• Loss of companionship, such as a marriage
• Permanent impact on quality of life
• Dependence on others for basic needs

Common cases our Kanas City catastrophic injury attorneys handle include:

• Amputations
• Burn injury
• Disfigurement
• Internal organ damage
• Multiple bone fractures
• Paralysis injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Traumatic brain injury
• Wrongful death

When a catastrophic injury occurs, victims are often treated at major trauma centers throughout the metro, including University Health, Saint Luke's Hospital, Research Medical Center, and KU Medical Center. Long-term recovery may also involve rehabilitation through facilities like the Research Rehabilitation Center or adaptive programs such as Ability KC.

Oftentimes, catastrophic injuries are the result of serious car accidents, but there are numerous ways you can find yourself seriously harmed, from slip-and-fall accidents to workplace injuries.

When you or a loved one has suffered an injury such as this, your first step is to ensure you are receiving the medical care and attention you need. If you are concerned about paying for your medical bills or any other financial burden, turn to the catastrophic personal injury lawyers at DM Injury Law in Kansas City. Our experts will let you focus on your recovery and aggressively fight for the compensation and justice you deserve.

How Can an Attorney Help Me with My Catastrophic Injury Case?

When dealing with a life-altering injury, you need someone you can trust to lead you through this overwhelming situation. Hiring a contingency-based Kansas City serious injury lawyer can be a beacon of light during this trying time.

Our attorneys at DM Injury Law can provide you with resources that other lawyers may not be able to. You deserve a law firm that will leave no stone unturned when seeking the justice and compensation you and your family deserve.

Not only do we have a staff of experienced catastrophic injury lawyers, but we also have a team of investigators who will learn the details of your case and resources with medical providers who can give you expert advice.

Because catastrophic injury claims often involve large employers, manufacturers, or corporations, some cases may be filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri or the District of Kansas, in addition to county courts like Jackson County Circuit Court or Wyandotte County District Court.

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if you get paid. Contact our Kansas City catastrophic injury law firm today to discuss the details of your case.

Real Results, Real Recoveries

Our attorneys have helped thousands of people in positions similar to yours, and we have an impressive track record of success that speaks for itself.

Some applicable past wins include:

• $4.1 Million: Our client was stopped at a traffic light when she was rear-ended by a driver traveling at a high speed. Vehicle design flaws worsened the impact, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. With only a $100,000 insurance policy available, we pursued additional avenues to secure the full settlement she needed for lifelong medical care.
• $1 Million: Our client was rear-ended while slowing for traffic, suffering a torn labrum and multiple disc bulges in the neck. After another firm couldn't secure a fair offer, we pursued both the at-fault driver's policy and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage to reach a full settlement.
• $835,000: Our client suffered a traumatic brain injury and a neck injury requiring cervical surgery after another driver made a careless lane change and struck her vehicle. We uncovered undisclosed insurance coverage and brought in a life-care planning expert to fully document her future needs.
