What Constitutes a Catastrophic Injury?
It is important to note that there is no legal definition of a “catastrophic injury;” instead, it is typically up to your attorney to prove that your injury is catastrophic.
Any disabling and long-lasting condition that causes severe pain or affects your ability to live life normally may be considered a catastrophic injury. This includes injuries that affect your ability to work, care for yourself, care for your children or other loved ones, drive a car, or carry out any other tasks you were previously able to do.
Some examples of common catastrophic injuries include:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
- Head injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Serious burn injuries
- Amputation/dismemberment
- Loss of hearing
- Loss of vision
- Organ damage
- Injuries requiring hospitalizations or surgical intervention
Please note that this list is not exhaustive; there are many other injuries that may be considered catastrophic. Our trusted North Carolina catastrophic injury lawyer is equipped to handle all types of cases, from the simplest claims of negligence to the most complex situations involving multiple parties and victims.
We never back down from a challenge and are prepared to fight for you and your recovery every step of the way.
Causes of Catastrophic Injuries
Many people fail to realize that a simple careless mistake can cause devastating bodily injury or the death of another person. For example, a property owner who fails to remedy a slick surface may wind up causing a visitor to suffer brain and head injuries, spinal cord damage, or another type of catastrophic injury.
Some examples of accidents that can lead to serious injuries include:
Suffering a catastrophic injury can cause unbearable pain and suffering, not only for victims but for their loved ones as well. Often, these injuries require extensive medical treatment. Sometimes, this treatment may even be lifelong. This can place an immense financial burden on families who are already struggling with the other consequences of the accident.
If someone else’s negligence caused the accident that left you or your loved one catastrophically injured, we want to help you take legal action against whoever is responsible.
Our attorney understands the unique challenges these types of personal injury cases present, and we know how to help you navigate the legal process in pursuit of the full, fair compensation you are owed.

"20 out of 10 stars."
There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it’s interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don’t have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.

"Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members"
I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!

"So thankful for your expertise and professionalism"
Mrs. Gonzalez did an awesome job of explaining everything in detail and keeping me informed on the status of my case. Despite poor customer service with the insurance company, Mrs. Gonzalez was able to fix what they could not. Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.
