Catastrophic Injuries in Pittsburgh, PA

A catastrophic injury is a type of injury that changes your ability to function in some fundamental way.  Most catastrophic injury victims require extensive medical care, physical therapy and rehab to move forward in life.  Examples of injuries that can be classified as catastrophic include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Paraplegia (paralysis from the waist down)
• Quadriplegia (paralysis from the neck down)
• Severe burn injuries
• Loss of limbs
• Loss of vision
• Loss of hearing
• Brain Injuries
• Back & Neck Injuries
• Spinal Cord Injuries

Catastrophic injuries are often sustained in accidents caused by someone else’s negligence.  Serious accidents can happen in a second and, even though no one intended to cause any harm, can leave the victim’s life permanently changed.  Here are some examples of the types of catastrophic injury cases our lawyers handle:

• Truck accidents, including tractor-trailer accidents, commercial vehicle accidents and more
• Car accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Construction accidents
• Explosion and fires accidents
• Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
• DUI accidents
• Falls from heights
• Workplace accidents

Helping Catastrophic Injury Victims Get Full & Fair Compensation: Evaluating Both the Current & Future Cost of Your Injuries

A catastrophic injury is not something that you recover from after a few months of medical care.  Most catastrophic injury victims are lucky to survive.  Those who do survive can face years, if not a lifetime, of intense physical and emotional challenges.  

Our lawyers fight to hold the responsible parties financially accountable to the fullest extent of the law.  Whether through negotiations with the insurance company or by seeing your case through to trial by a judge and jury, we work to get compensation for:

• Current medical costs, including emergency room costs, surgeries, prescription drug costs and more
• Your future medical care
• Physical therapy
• Vocational/occupational therapy
• Long-term care
• The cost of in-home care and in-home modifications
• The cost of medical devices
• Pain and suffering
• Diminished quality of life for your family
• Emotional distress, including the cost of counseling for you and your family
• And more

Our lawyers at Berger Lagnese & Paul, LLC work with the best available experts so that we can present the strongest possible claim for compensation in your case.  We work with medical experts, life care planners, financial experts and more to effectively convey the full extent of the damages that your family has suffered.
