When a Serious Injury Changes Everything, We’re Here to Help

Not all injuries are temporary. Some accidents result in devastating, life-altering harm that a person may never fully recover from. These are known as catastrophic injuries—and they require more than just medical care. They require a legal team that understands the lifelong impact and will fight to make sure you’re fully compensated for the challenges ahead.
 

At Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol LLC, we help individuals and families navigate the aftermath of catastrophic injuries with strength, compassion, and relentless legal support. If your life has been permanently affected by an accident, we’re ready to stand by your side and help you recover the financial resources you need to move forward.
 

What Is a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is one that causes permanent disability, long-term medical needs, or a dramatic change in your ability to work or enjoy daily life. Unlike a broken bone or minor injury that heals over time, these injuries often result in permanent loss of function or require ongoing care.

You may have suffered a catastrophic injury if:

• You’re no longer able to return to work or perform your usual job

• You require long-term rehabilitation, nursing care, or home modifications

• You’ve experienced a lasting impact on your mobility, senses, or cognitive function

These cases are emotionally and financially overwhelming—but you don’t have to face them alone.
 

Examples of Catastrophic Injuries

Our team has represented clients facing a wide range of serious, life-changing injuries, including:
 

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)

Head trauma can cause lasting cognitive, physical, or emotional impairments. TBIs are especially common in high-impact accidents like truck crashes or pedestrian collisions and may affect memory, motor skills, or speech.
 

Spinal Cord Injuries

Damage to the spine can lead to partial or full paralysis. Individuals with these injuries often need lifelong care, medical equipment, and home accommodations. These injuries are common in falls, car accidents, and construction site incidents.
 

Amputation or Loss of Limb

The loss of an arm, leg, or hand—or the loss of use due to nerve damage or injury—can permanently affect independence, mobility, and employment.
 

Vision or Hearing Loss

Permanent damage to your eyes or ears can result from accidents in unsafe workplaces, explosions, or lack of protective gear. The result can be total or partial blindness or deafness.
 

Organ Damage

Some injuries cause lasting internal damage that leads to disability or the need for organ removal. These may be caused by trauma or surgical malpractice.

If you or your loved one is living with the consequences of a catastrophic injury, we’re here to protect your future and make sure you receive full and fair compensation.
 

Compensation for Catastrophic Injury Victims

Because catastrophic injuries have a lifelong impact, settlements and jury awards in these cases are often significant. We work closely with medical and financial experts to understand your current needs and calculate the future costs you’ll face, so we can fight for maximum compensation.

You may be entitled to recover:

• Lost earning capacity – Compensation for wages and income you would have earned if not for the injury

• Medical expenses – Including hospital bills, surgeries, medications, therapy, assistive devices, and future care

• Long-term care needs – Such as in-home nursing, rehabilitation, or residence in a care facility

• Noneconomic damages – For the pain, suffering, emotional trauma, and loss of enjoyment in life that often come with permanent injuries
   

You’ve already been through more than enough. We’ll work tirelessly to ensure you don’t face financial hardship on top of it.
