CATASTROPHIC INJURY
A catastrophic injury is a serious injury that results in a permanent and devastating change to a persons life. While your attorney can seek action without a specific diagnosis for typical serious injury claims, a medical diagnosis is needed to claim an injury as catastrophic. Due to the dire nature of catastrophic injuries and the enduring effects they have upon individuals, your attorney will use this diagnosis to claim to support compensation on your behalf in an effort to ensure you receive all necessary financial recovery.
A catastrophic injury imparts a lifelong or long-term impairment, disfigurement, or disability upon the person. These injuries can lead to a need for extensive rehabilitative therapy, permanent implementation of a medical device, surgery, supplemental medication, need of a caretaker, or dramatic living modifications to support the individual’s needs.
TYPES OF CATASTROPHIC INJURY
1. Physical: Injuries affecting the body, limbs, and organs. These include dismemberment, amputations, disfigurement, multiple broken bones/orthopedic injury, severe burns, etc.
2. Spinal: Injuries that permanently affect mobility and pain levels in victims. These include partial paralysis, quadriplegia, nerve damage, chronic pain, etc.

You can also lose your license for accumulating multiple citations:
As an experienced traffic violation defense lawyer, I work will tirelessly to assist clients have their driving privileges reinstated following a traffic conviction. I represent clients in Secretary of State's administrative hearings on license suspension or reinstatement. I also work to "un-suspend" your license by re-examining the original traffic violation that led to suspension. If we are successful at your drivers' license reinstatement hearing, you can get your license reinstated and your record will not reflect the erroneous suspension.
