Catastrophic Injury Attorneys Chattanooga

What is a Catastrophic Injury?

Catastrophic injuries occur because of serious accidents or trauma and are life-changing injuries. Catastrophic injuries are distinctive in that most are permanent and prevent the victim from returning to work or the normal activities they engaged in before the accident. The consequences of a catastrophic injury are far-reaching.

Many people will be in severe pain and will have a decreased quality of life. Due to the severity of the impact, victims of catastrophic injuries often need extensive medical care, including surgeries and rehabilitation. Family members and loved ones will also be directly impacted by the injury’s emotional damage. As such, it is absolutely critical that justice is done and maximum compensation is awarded to victims.

In general, catastrophic injuries are defined as those that can lead to severe or permanent disability. They often occur in a person’s neck, back, spine, head, or brain. These serious injuries could be prevented when people do not let their negligent actions cause substantial injuries to others. From auto accidents to improper warnings on construction sites to the indifferent or intentional wrongdoings of property owners, you may be able to seek compensation for your injuries.

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injury

Many personal injury accidents can cause serious injury. Catastrophic injury may result from any of the following:

• Car accident
• Truck accident
• Motorcycle accident
• Bicycle accident
• Drunk driving incident
• ATV accidents
• Premises liability
• Medical malpractice
• Nursing home abuse
• Workplace accidents
• Burns and explosions
• Slip and fall incidents
• Dog bites

If you or a family member has been seriously injured in an accident, then it is time to hold the responsible parties accountable. Dennis and King have been helping catastrophic injury victims for decades. Furthermore, if you have lost a loved one due to wrongful death, then we can file a wrongful death lawsuit on your behalf. Our Chattanooga personal injury attorneys are dedicated to representing your family to help you get the compensation that you deserve when you are grieving.

Examples of Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries can happen in many different ways, but all are serious and long-term. Common examples of catastrophic injuries that happen to our personal injury clients include:

• Head injuries, including Traumatic Brain Injury
• Neck injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Back injury
• Nerve damage
• Paralysis
• Neurological disorders or damage
• Amputation
• Disfigurement
• Loss of hearing
• Loss of sight
• Severe organ damage
• Severe burns
• Mesothelioma or other occupational illnesses

Many catastrophic injuries are permanent, but treatment can provide relief. While nothing can take back time and prevent the accident from occuring, there are ways to treat the injury to help you move forward.

How to Recover Compensation for a Catastrophic Injury

It is only fair for a catastrophic injury victim to be compensated for their suffering. But how does one obtain compensation? There are several ways, including:

• Negotiating a settlement with the insurance company
• Collecting worker’s compensation, if you are suffering from any workplace injuries or illnesses
• Filing a personal injury lawsuit in court. Personal injury lawsuits are civil cases where you must prove that someone else’s negligence caused your injury. While most personal injury cases are settled between the parties, others may go to trial.

Contact Dennis and King today if you have any questions about how to receive compensation for your accident. We offer a free consultation to discuss the legal strategy to receive the help that you need.

Do You Need A Personal Injury Lawyer?

Do you need to hire a personal injury lawyer? Is it really that important? Yes, a Chattanooga personal injury attorney can greatly help you obtain maximum compensation! While you can file your claim alone, there is no doubt that an experienced personal injury attorney will better help your case.

Dennis and King is an experienced personal injury law firm serving injured individuals in Tennessee and Georgia. We offer premier legal assistance for our clients so they can concentrate on their recovery.

Dennis and King- Different from the Rest of Firms

Dennis and King is a personal injury law firm that is different from the rest. Our firm is unique in its dedication. For instance, many other law firms place no limit on their attorney’s caseloads. What ends up happening is that their attorneys have too many personal injury cases they are working on at once. Thus, many tasks end up being delegated to legal assistants, paralegals, or legal team interns/ law students. Injured victims often feel like they are not getting the right amount of attention that their case deserves.

At Dennis and King, we limit our caseload to ensure we can stay attuned to our clients’ needs and the ever-changing legal climate. Your case will always be in the hands of an experienced personal injury lawyer. We offer an individualized approach for each client with personalized attention to their unique set of circumstances. We handle your case- we do not “process” your case. Additionally, our network of doctors brings significant insight into the severity of catastrophic injuries and the costs of treatment options, which allows us to maximize your compensation.
