What Is Considered a Catastrophic Injury in Dallas?

Catastrophic injuries are serious, life-altering personal injuries that generally result in long-term or permanent disability. These injuries often have lifelong consequences and require extensive medical treatment.

Victims of catastrophic injuries may be impacted in several areas of life. Severe injuries may leave them with permanent impairment or loss of a bodily function, unable to return to work and earn an income. They can also leave victims permanently scarred or disfigured. There are a number of different injuries that someone may suffer after experiencing a catastrophic injury. Some common examples of catastrophic injuries in Dallas include:

Spinal Cord Injury

Damage to any part of the spinal cord can have permanent consequences. A spinal cord injury typically results in a loss of mobility, sensation, bowel control, and intense pain. In severe cases, spinal cord injuries result in permanent paralysis. Our team of personal injury attorneys can help victims of spinal cord injuries in Dallas recover compensation when their injuries were caused by another person’s negligence or intentional act.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) typically result from a serious blow to the head. Brain injuries like concussions can be mild, but severe traumatic brain injuries can result in lifelong impairment and even death. Different types of TBI include:
- Concussions
- Contusions
- Open skull fractures
- Hematomas

Burn Injury

Severe burns can leave victims permanently disfigured and require long-term, extensive medical treatment, skin grafts, and surgeries. Burn injuries can happen in a number of different ways, and severe burns can cause nerve damage, organ failure, and death. Third-degree burns are often life-threatening.
- First-degree burns: Affect the outer layer of the skin and are usually caused by touching hot objects or the sun.
- Second-degree burns: Affect the dermis and epidermis layers of the skin and usually cause skin to blister and turn red.
- Third-degree burns: Destroys both the dermis and epidermis. Third-degree burns can cause serious damage beyond the skin, affecting your muscles, tendons, and bones.

Amputations

Some accidents and injuries are so severe that they require the amputation of a body part, typically an arm, leg, finger, or toe. Amputations can impact a victim’s mobility and ability to perform daily tasks and cause serious emotional and psychological suffering.

Blindness

A catastrophic injury may have caused you or a loved one to lose your vision. Injuries to the head or eyes can often result in blindness, resulting in permanent impairment and requiring major life changes for victims.

These are just a few examples of the many injuries, disabilities, and impairments that a catastrophic injury can cause. If you or a loved one have experienced a catastrophic injury due to someone else’s negligence in Dallas, we strongly urge you to schedule a free, confidential consultation and discuss your case with an attorney at Galliani Injury Law.

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries in Dallas, Texas

A catastrophic injury can occur in any given accident. The severity of your injuries will depend on the type of accident you were involved in and the circumstances surrounding it, though a serious injury can happen at almost any time. Some of the most common accidents that we see resulting in catastrophic injuries include:

Auto accidents: Car accidents and truck accidents can result in severe, devastating injuries for everyone involved. Spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries are common in serious auto accidents. Victims may also suffer from broken and fractured bones, head and neck injuries and more. Distracted driving, speeding, and driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol are some of the leading causes of auto accidents in the United States and often lead to serious, life-threatening accidents. Dallas is also known as being one of the deadliest cities in the country for motorcycle riders.
Workplace accidents: Many catastrophic injuries occur at work, often in high-risk industries like construction and jobs that require the use of heavy equipment. Burn injuries are also common in kitchens and with employees dealing with hazardous chemicals. Being crushed by a piece of heavy machinery or falling from a great height can result in serious injury that leads to long-term disability and impairment. Dallas workers who have been injured may be able to hold their negligent employer or a manufacturer liable for their injuries.
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents: Accidents involving pedestrians, runners, or bicyclists often result in severe injuries due to the victim’s lack of protection. Negligent or reckless drivers in Dallas may fail to notice a pedestrian or cyclist in the road or at an intersection and cause serious injury in an accident.
Defective products: Dangerous defective products can cause serious harm to their consumers. Airbags that fail to deploy during a car accident are a common source of product liability claims. When a product, medical device, or piece of equipment results in an accident, the manufacturer can be held liable for their negligence or failure to warn.
Slip and fall: Something as seemingly harmless as a slip-and-fall can cause serious injury. Slipping on an icy walkway or a wet floor can cause someone to suffer serious head and brain injuries or even spinal cord injuries that result in paralysis. Victims may be able to hold a homeowner or store owner liable if they failed to warn about a slippery area.
Medical malpractice: Our team is proud to help victims of medical malpractice and birth injuries in Dallas hold the responsible parties liable for their negligence. Injuries at birth can result in lifelong impairment for the child and cause serious complications for the mother. In Dallas medical malpractice and birth injury cases, a number of different people could be held liable for your injuries, including physicians, nurses, hospitals, manufacturers, and more.
Intentional acts of violence: Victims of assaults, gunshots, stabbings, or other acts of violence often experience serious physical trauma. Blunt force trauma to the head can result in head and brain injuries that cause permanent damage. An assault could also leave a victim with multiple broken or fractured bones, internal bleeding, and other severe complications. We help victims of these senseless acts of violence in Dallas find the responsible party and hold them accountable for their actions.

A catastrophic injury can occur from almost any type of accident.
