Northern Utah Catastrophic Injury Lawyer to Help You Get Your Life Back

Fighting for Clients Permanently Disabled or Seriously Disfigured

Any injury seriously can disrupt your life by keeping you out of work and preventing you from enjoying family and other activities. However, some injuries are so serious that they forever change the direction of your life and the lives of your family members. When a catastrophic injury occurs to someone you love, it can be easy to fall into shock. The reality is that it will take a great deal of money to support your family and give the injured person the best quality of life possible.

Common Types of Catastrophic Injuries

There are several types of injuries that can have a particularly serious effect on your life and the lives of your family members:

Brain injuries – A serious brain injury caused by blunt force or other serious trauma to the head can have a number of adverse effects. Internal hemorrhaging can cause permanent brain damage that can lead to cognitive limitations, sensory loss, personality changes, and in some serious cases, long-term or permanent coma. These types of injuries are especially common in motorcycle accidents but can also occur in other types of vehicle crashes, after a slip and fall, or on the job.

Back and neck injuries – The spinal cord is the highway that allows the brain to both send and receive signals to and from the rest of the body. Yet this important conduit is surprisingly exposed and can be damaged or severed as the result of neck and back injuries. The results can range from ambulatory and sensory limitation to total paralysis and the broader health issues that accompany it. These types of limitations can forever alter the course of your life, but our personal injury attorney Ken Peterson can help you get the financial resources you need to overcome your limitations.
Burns and scarring – Fire, electrocution, chemical contact, or exposure to explosive force can all potentially cause serious burns and scarring. In addition to requiring expensive treatment and causing serious and ongoing pain, many victims must relive these injuries every time they look in the mirror. In this way, severe disfigurement can also cause serious and ongoing psychological issues for the victim and daily struggles for his or her family.

Catastrophic injury cases stand apart from typical personal injury claims. They deserve particular attention and care.
