There have been a number of times that I've been asked, "What kind of personal injury cases do you handle?" My response would be, "Serious Personal Injury cases, frequently resulting in catastrophic injury or catastrophic injuries, sometimes resulting in wrongful death."
To help potential clients understand what these terms mean, I've created a list to help people get a good idea of the kinds of accidents, injuries and cases I'm talking about.

Motor-vehicle, automobile or Car Accidents; Motorcycle Accidents; Boat Accidents; Truck Accidents

What is, Serious Personal Injury or Catastropic Injury? Typically, we're speaking about injuries that aren't easily healed or repaired - injuries that can last a lifetime and cause significant pain. Catastropic injuries could include traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, disfigurement and burns. Serious injuries could include fractures, soft-tissue injuries, mental-health related injuries, and less-significant burns. Fatal injuries are those that result in the death of the injured person.
