Catastrophic Injury Attorney in Panama City

What constitutes a catastrophic injury?

Generally speaking, a catastrophic injury is any one which causes devastating physical damage and which results in some form of disability or severe disfigurement. It is a life-changing injury from which the victim will never fully recover.

Florida Statutes §766.118 defines "catastrophic injuries" as including spinal cord injuries which result in severe paralysis, amputation of a limb, traumatic brain injury which results in severe sensory, motor or cognitive disturbances, second and third degree burns covering 25% or more of the body or third degree burns which cover 5% or more of the face or hands, blindness or loss of the reproductive organs.

If you or a loved one has suffered catastrophic injuries as a result of another person's negligence, a lawyer from Seaton Law Offices, P.A. is ready to fight for you. Our lead attorney is a former prosecutor, a background which makes us uniquely well suited to helping accident victims pursue compensation for their injuries. Your personal injury claim could provide you with a settlement to cover all your costs for medical treatment, surgery and ongoing care, as well as your lost income and reduced earning power and even damages for your pain, suffering, mental distress and loss of capacity to enjoy life.

What types of accidents cause catastrophic injuries?

Nearly any type of accident is capable of leaving the victim with severe injuries, but certain ones are recognized as being particularly dangerous. According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, motor vehicle accidents including car crashes, truck collisions and motorcycle accidents are one of the top causes of spinal cord injury and brain injuries, while slip and fall accidents account for nearly as many.
