Orlando, FL Catastrophic Injury Lawyers

Catastrophic injuries have the power to change a person's life forever. These are not minor or temporary medical issues—they are severe, often permanent conditions that can affect a victim's physical health, their emotional well-being, and their ability to earn a living. When these injuries are the result of negligence, victims can take steps to recover compensation that will address the full impact their injuries have had on their lives.

The lawyers at The Doan Law Firm represent clients in Orlando who have suffered catastrophic injuries. We work to hold the parties who were responsible for these injuries accountable for the harm they have caused. Our goal is to make sure our clients will have the financial resources they need to recover from their injuries and move forward with their lives.

Types of Catastrophic Injuries We Handle

Our legal team has experience representing clients who have experienced many different types of catastrophic injuries in a wide variety of situations. These cases require a detailed understanding of legal issues that may affect liability, medical issues that victims may face, and the strategies that are likely to be successful when negotiating settlements or resolving cases through litigation. We can help clients who have suffered severe injuries such as:

Amputation Injuries

Losing a limb due to the bodily harm suffered in an accident can be one of the most devastating injuries a person can face. Amputations will often require extensive rehabilitation, prosthetics, and ongoing medical care. They may also prevent victims from returning to work or engaging in everyday activities.

Paralysis

Damage to the spinal cord or brain can result in paralysis that may be partial or total. Victims may experience paraplegia, quadriplegia, or loss of sensation and function in body parts such as the arms or legs. These injuries will require lifelong care and adaptive equipment. Victims may need to make dramatic changes to their lifestyles, and they may experience a loss of personal independence.

Bone Fractures

While some broken bones may heal with minimal intervention, serious fractures can be classified as catastrophic, especially if they are compound fractures, if bones are crushed or shattered, or if fractures occur in the spine or pelvis. These injuries may require surgery, metal implants, and prolonged physical therapy, and they can have lasting effects on a person's mobility and strength.

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)

Brain injuries may consist of basic concussions that can seem relatively minor, or they may involve severe trauma that can result in permanent cognitive and physical impairments. Victims may experience memory problems, speech difficulties, personality changes, loss of motor control, and other long-lasting or permanent symptoms. TBIs often require lifelong therapy and supportive care, and the costs of ongoing treatment can be very high.

Burn Injuries

Severe burns that penetrate deep into the skin or damage muscle and bone can result in disfigurement, loss of mobility, and chronic pain. Treatment may include surgeries, skin grafts, and other ongoing therapies, and psychological support may be needed due to the trauma of these experiences and the permanent scars that they may leave. Severe burns also carry a high risk of infections and other complications, making recovery difficult and costly.

Situations That May Cause Catastrophic Injuries

Severe injuries can occur in many different types of accidents. The Doan Law Firm handles catastrophic injury cases such as:

• Car Accidents: High-speed crashes, rollover accidents, and head-on collisions can result in life-altering injuries, especially in cases involving drunk driving or distracted driving.
• Truck Accidents: Due to the size and weight of commercial trucks, people are likely to be seriously injured when these vehicles collide with smaller vehicles.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Due to their lack of physical protection, motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to severe injuries, including road rash, fractures, and head trauma.
• Pedestrian Accidents: People who are struck by vehicles while crossing the road or in other situations may suffer multiple injuries, including spinal damage, brain trauma, and fractured bones.
• Amusement Park Accidents: Ride malfunctions, inadequate maintenance, or negligence by staff members can lead to accidents such as falls, crush injuries, or burns. Child injuries at amusement parks can be especially dangerous, potentially resulting in severe injuries and lifelong disabilities.
• Slip and Fall Accidents: Falls from heights or onto hard surfaces can result in serious head, spine, or pelvic injuries. Property owners may be liable for these accidents if they failed to maintain safe premises or warn visitors of hazards.
