What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is one that results in permanent disability, serious functional loss, or a life-changing impact on the victim’s ability to work and care for themselves. These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, long-term rehabilitation, and significant personal care. The costs – physical, emotional, and financial – can be overwhelming.

If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury due to another’s negligence, you have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings, future care, pain and suffering, and other damages. At Cunningham Bounds, we have a long record of holding corporations, insurers, and other responsible parties accountable when negligence leads to catastrophic harm.

Long-Term Effects of Catastrophic Injuries

The impact of a catastrophic injury extends far beyond the initial medical treatment. These injuries can affect every aspect of your life—physically, emotionally, socially, and financially. Long-term consequences often include:

• Ongoing Medical Treatment: Many victims need surgeries, physical therapy, or long-term medications.
• Permanent Disability: Loss of function or mobility often prevents victims from working again.
• Emotional and Psychological Trauma: Depression, anxiety, PTSD, and mood disorders are common among survivors.
• Financial Stress: Families often struggle with medical bills, lost wages, and the cost of necessary home or vehicle modifications.
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Hobbies, social activities, and relationships are often diminished or lost altogether.

Our legal team at Cunningham Bounds understands these long-term consequences. We work closely with medical experts, vocational specialists, and economists to calculate the full value of your claim—including future damages.

FAQs About Catastrophic Injury Claims

How is a catastrophic injury claim different from a personal injury claim?

While both involve injuries due to another party’s negligence, catastrophic injury claims involve more severe injuries that result in permanent or long-term disability. They typically involve higher compensation and more complex litigation.

What kind of compensation can I recover?

You may be eligible for:

• Medical expenses (current and future)
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Home modifications or assistive equipment
• Long-term care costs

How long do I have to file a catastrophic injury claim in Alabama?

Alabama law generally allows two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. However, certain exceptions may apply depending on the circumstances of your case. It’s best to contact a Daphne catastrophic injury attorney as soon as possible to preserve your legal rights.

What if the insurance company offers a settlement?

Do not accept any settlement offer without first consulting an attorney. Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts, especially in high-value catastrophic injury cases. Our lawyers can evaluate whether the offer truly covers your long-term needs.

Can family members sue on behalf of an incapacitated loved one?

Yes. In Alabama, if a victim is incapacitated due to a catastrophic injury, a legal guardian or family member may file a claim on their behalf. We can help you through the legal steps required to do so.
