Common Causes of Catastrophic Injury Claims

Catastrophic injuries can occur in an instant but leave a lifetime of physical, emotional, and financial challenges. These severe injuries often arise from incidents that involve negligence, recklessness, or unforeseen accidents. At Rowland & Yauger, we have worked with injured victims who have faced significant medical expenses and long-term recovery efforts following catastrophic events. Understanding the common causes of these injuries can help injured victims navigate the legal process and seek compensation.

Motor vehicle accidents

Motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and severe burns. High-impact collisions involving cars, trucks, or motorcycles frequently result in injuries that alter the lives of victims and their families. Workplace accidents, especially in industries like construction and manufacturing, also contribute to catastrophic injuries. Falls from heights, equipment malfunctions, and exposure to hazardous conditions can leave workers with debilitating conditions.

Medical malpractice

Medical malpractice is another source of catastrophic injury claims. Errors during surgeries, misdiagnoses, or birth injuries can cause irreversible harm to patients and require ongoing medical care. Additionally, defective products, such as faulty machinery or unsafe consumer goods, can lead to life-altering injuries when they fail unexpectedly.

Premises liability accidents

Premises liability accidents, including slip-and-fall incidents and unsafe property conditions, also rank among the common causes of severe injuries. When property owners fail to maintain safe environments, visitors can suffer devastating consequences. Acts of violence or intentional harm can also leave victims with injuries that require extensive treatment and rehabilitation.

If you or a loved one has sustained severe injuries due to any of these causes, you may have grounds to pursue compensation. At Rowland & Yauger, we advocate for injured victims, working to secure financial relief for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

We Are Not Intimidated By Big Insurance Companies

• Paralysis
• Spinal cord injury
• Accidental amputation
• Severe burns
• Central nervous system damage
• Back injuries
• Organ damage

In addition to the main injuries, catastrophic injuries generally impact other body systems and all aspects of daily living.
