Erie Catastrophic Injury Attorney: Securing Your Future By Getting the Compensation You Deserve
The term “catastrophic injury” can be confusing because all accidents and injuries are catastrophic to a certain extent. Legally speaking, however, a catastrophic injury is any injury that takes away your ability to work, and in some states, your ability to live your life the way you did before your injury.
If you are unsure whether or not you have suffered a catastrophic injury, our team at McNair Law Offices, PLLC can help guide you through your claim.

What Is a Catastrophic Injury?
To have a valid catastrophic injury case, your injury must be the result of someone else’s negligence. To prove negligence, you must show:
- The person you are suing (the defendant) owed you a duty of care
- The defendant breached that duty
- You were injured
- Your injury is a result of the defendant’s breach
Of course, in catastrophic injury lawsuits, you must also demonstrate the extent of your injuries – and how they prevent you from working.
This is easier for some injuries than others, but our Erie catastrophic injury attorney can help you build your case.
What Are the Most Common Catastrophic Injuries?
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and spinal cord injuries (SCI) are 2 of the most well-known catastrophic injuries because they frequently result in paralysis and other permanent disabilities.
