Empowering You Through The Challenges Of Suffering A Catastrophic Injury

At Thacker and Mulvihill, PLLC, our injury lawyers recognize that accidents can have life-altering consequences — especially when they result in serious bodily harm. With over 35 years of combined experience, our team of seasoned litigators is here to guide you through the complexities of catastrophic injuries, offering unwavering support and a relentless pursuit of justice.

What Injuries Suffered In An Accident May Result In Compensation?

The aftermath of an accident can leave victims struggling with life-altering injuries that require extensive medical care, rehabilitation and emotional support. Our dedicated team understands the complexities of these situations and is committed to helping you secure the compensation you deserve. Here are some of the catastrophic injuries we focus on:

  • Burns: Causing excruciating pain, disfigurement, and long-term medical treatment needs, burn injuries can significantly impact mobility, functionality, and quality of life.
  • Spinal cord injuries: These can range from partial to complete paralysis, leading to immense physical and emotional challenges, lost mobility, and dependence on assistive devices.
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Affecting memory, cognition, motor skills, and personality, TBIs can have lasting consequences that require ongoing rehabilitation and support.
  • Dismemberment: Loss of limbs or digits can result in severe physical limitations, phantom limb pain, and psychological trauma, requiring adaptation and prosthetic solutions.
  • Neck and back injuries: Often causing chronic pain, nerve damage, and mobility limitations, these injuries can significantly impact daily life and work ability.

Remember, you are not alone. Our Clearwater-based legal team possesses the experience and compassion to guide you through this difficult journey and fight for the compensation you need to manage your recovery and rebuild your life.

Does The Severity Of Your Injury Affect The Amount Of Compensation You Can Receive?

Yes, the severity of your injury typically has a significant impact on the amount of compensation you can receive in a personal injury case. Here’s how:

  • Medical expenses: More severe injuries often require extensive medical treatment, including surgeries, hospitalization, rehabilitation and ongoing care. Consequently, the medical expenses associated with treating severe injuries are usually higher, leading to increased compensation to cover these costs.
  • Lost wages: Severe injuries may result in a longer recovery period or permanent disability, leading to a significant loss of income. Compensation for lost wages typically takes into account the duration of time missed from work and the victim’s earning capacity before the injury occurred.
  • Pain and suffering: The severity of the injury and the resulting physical pain, emotional distress and mental anguish can significantly impact the amount of compensation awarded for pain and suffering. More severe injuries that cause greater pain and suffering typically result in higher compensation.
  • Permanent disability and impairment: Catastrophic injuries that result in permanent disability or impairment often lead to higher compensation to account for the victim’s diminished quality of life and future earning potential.
  • Impact on daily life: Severe injuries can significantly impact a person’s ability to perform daily activities, enjoy hobbies and maintain relationships. Compensation may be awarded to address these limitations and the overall impact on the victim’s life.

Our experienced personal injury attorneys understand the importance of accurately assessing the severity of your injuries and their impact on your life.
