Is Your Case "Catastrophic"?
Our firm invests significant resources into cases involving life-altering injuries. If you are facing:
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- Amputation / Limb Loss
- Spinal Cord Paralysis
- Severe Burns (>15% Body)
The "Life Care Plan" Difference
Most lawyers look at your past medical bills to determine case value. We look at your future. In catastrophic cases, the vast majority of damages will be incurred years after the settlement check is signed.
We hire Certified Life Care Planners and Medical Economists to calculate the cost of directly related care for the remainder of your life expectancy. This includes:
- Home Modifications: Wheelchair ramps, widened doorways, roll-in showers.
- Replacement Schedules: Prosthetics ($20k-$50k each) must be replaced every 5-7 years. An amputee will need 6-8 legs in their lifetime.
- In-Home Nursing: The cost of 24/7 or part-time skilled nursing care, adjusted for medical inflation.
- Projected Surgeries: Future fusion surgeries for spinal injuries.
Areas of Focus
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
From "mild" concussions to severe diffuse axonal injuries. We understand the personality changes and cognitive deficits that destroy families.

The loss of a limb affects every aspect of life. We fight for the most advanced prosthetics available, not just what insurance wants to pay for.

Paraplegia and Quadriplegia cases require millions in lifetime care. We account for the specialized vans, bowel programs, and therapy needs.
Spinal Cord Injury GuideSevere Burns
Often from oil field explosions or industrial fires. Burns are the most painful injury imaginable and require years of grafting.
Industrial Burn CasesCommon Causes of Catastrophic Loss
We investigate the root cause of the injury. We frequently handle cases involving:
- Commercial Truck Accidents (Federal Motor Carrier Violations)
- Oil Field Explosions (OSHA Violations)
- High-Speed Highway Crashes
- Police Use of Excessive Force
Proving "Invisible" Damages
With brain injuries, the CT scan is often normal. Defense lawyers love to call you a liar or a "malingerer." We fight back with objective science.
We use Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) MRI scans to show the shearing of white matter tracts in the brain. We use comprehensive Neuropsychological Testing to map the exact areas of cognitive failure.
"Day in the Life" Videos
A medical report is dry. A video is emotional. We hire professional videographers to document a "Day in the Life" of our clients. We show the jury the struggle of getting out of bed, the pain of therapy, and the frustration of memory loss. This evidence is powerful and often forces settlements before trial.
