Catastrophic Injury

Catastrophic Injury Lawyers in Corpus Christi

Have You Suffered a Serious Injury?

Have you or a loved one been seriously injured due to another’s negligent actions? Tragic, life-altering injuries occur all too often because a careless individual or company fails to act in a safe, responsible manner.

Securing financial compensation can help alleviate concerns over your future finances. Holding the responsible party accountable for their actions can also help ensure such tragedy does not befall another family.

Collecting the maximum compensation for a catastrophic injury is not always easy. Without an experienced, aggressive attorney to support your claim, it can be difficult to win against powerful corporate defense teams and other legal powers who will try to:

  • Argue that you caused your own injury
  • Assert that your injury was not a direct result of negligence
  • Claim that you assumed a risk of injury
  • State that you waited too long to file a claim
  • Hide evidence needed to prove your case

Our lawyers know how to beat these defenses and successfully argue your claim in court, collecting the maximum available compensation amount for your injuries. We have over 30 years of experience representing victims and their families.

Did the Negligence of Another Cause Your Catastrophic Injury?

People face hazards every day, whether on the job or simply out and about. Unfortunately, many of these hazards are present because negligent companies or individuals fail to follow proper safety rules and regulations (this is “negligence”).

These negligent parties may include an employer, driver, landlord, construction company, third-party contractor, landowner, medical professional, product manufacturer, or other entity.

When a party’s negligence results in serious injuries, the law holds that party responsible to pay full and fair financial compensation for all expenses and hardships incurred.
