Catastrophic injuries render the victim permanently disabled or disfigured, and their life may be forever changed. If you or someone you love suffered a catastrophic injury, whether it was in a vehicle collision, due to the effects of a malfunctioning consumer product, at a construction site, or violent assault, you may be able to demand compensation from a negligent person or entity that caused the accident. A skilled Provo, UT, catastrophic injury lawyer can develop a case on your behalf and demand that you be fairly compensated for your losses stemming from the event.
At Strong Law Accident & Injury Attorneys, we advocate for victims of catastrophic injuries and their families. One member of a family suffering a catastrophic injury often upends the entire family dynamic. The injured person may be unable to financially contribute to the household as they used to, or one family member may have to become a caretaker. Often, the entire family suffers from significant financial burdens. Our mission is to help alleviate them by filing a claim for fair compensation from the person or entity responsible for your injury. You can learn more in a free consultation, so please contact us today.
Defining an injury as catastrophic is a little subjective, but in general, it can be considered any victim whose physical or cognitive abilities are permanently altered. Catastrophic injuries could be traumatic or could be the result of contamination or developing a degenerative disease. These injuries are costly to treat, and many victims require lifelong medical care. Even if you are able to heal, you may never be the same as before the accident, such as if you suffered an involuntary amputation. Accommodations in a nursing home or memory care facility could easily cost over a million dollars over the course of the victim’s life.
Catastrophic injury lawyers advocate for the interests of injured victims. Our lawyers build a case against the party responsible for your injuries and file a civil claim against that entity. We evaluate the cost of treating your injuries and projected future costs to sustain you. We use financial experts to calculate the overall financial impact on your life, including loss of earning potential or vocational re-training. Our goal is to ensure that your family does not suffer financially and that all your needs are met.
The American Medical Association defines a catastrophic injury as one that causes severe trauma to the spine, head, or brain. The victim is permanently disabled or may suffer permanent cognitive change or decline. Victims may be unable to care for themselves or live independently. Permanent disability, like losing a limb, may also qualify as a catastrophic injury. In all cases, the victim is unable to recover to the state they were in before the accident.

"Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again."
"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"

Engage in discussions with the opposing party or insurance companies to reach a fair settlement outside of court.
