Catastrophic tort refers to civil claims seeking monetary damages for life-altering injuries caused by the negligence of others. These cases involve severe injuries that permanently impact a person’s quality of life and often require substantial, long-term medical care.
Examples of catastrophic injuries include:
Spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis
Birth injuries
Traumatic brain injuries
Severe burns or amputations
Permanent disabilities caused by accidents or negligence
At Smolen Law, we stand beside victims and their families, working tirelessly to hold responsible parties accountable.
