Personal injuries and catastrophic injuries are often caused by the same types of events:

• Pharmaceutical drugs
• Medical malpractice
• Defective products
• Motorcycle accidents
• Car accidents
• Truck accidents

The main difference is that in a catastrophic injury case, it is absolutely crucial that your attorney establish negligence on the part of the guilty party. These types of injuries carry lifelong consequences, including disfigurement, an inability to work, permanent disability, and damage to intimate relationships. If found guilty, the other person will be compensating you for years to come.

When you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury, it is essential to choose an experienced personal injury lawyer. Georgia is a comparative fault state, and your ability to recover will be reduced if the jury believes that you were partially or comparatively at fault for your injuries. The financial hardship caused by a catastrophic injury can be substantial, and the amount of damages can be immense. You need a good personal injury attorney on your side, one who can make sure that you are able to receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

• Severe burn injuries: Third degree burns can lead to the loss of layers of skin, nerve damage, and infection. In severe cases, these types of burns may even cause lung failure.
• Damage to internal organs: Internal organ damage frequently requires surgery and may even result in the loss of the damaged organ. Some internal organ damage is so severe that multiple organs can be affected at once. If not properly attended to, such damage can be life-threatening.
