Types of Catastrophic Injuries We Handle
Our extensive knowledge allows our legal team to handle most types of serious injuries. Catastrophic injuries are those in which severe and life-altering events happen that cause permanent disability and the need for ongoing care. Some examples of the types of injuries we handle include:
- Traumatic brain injuries: Some injuries can change how the brain functions. Others can impact behavior and physical function. Many do not heal, creating lifelong limitations.
- Spinal cord injuries: Trauma to the spinal column or cord can result in partial or complete paralysis, meaning a loss of mobility for victims.
- Amputations: The loss of a limb is catastrophic, especially when it impacts your ability to manage your life and remain mobile.
- Severe burns: These injuries cause scarring, but they often cause intense pain and deep tissue damage, creating nerve damage. Many people spend years trying to recover enough to get back to daily life.
- Vision and hearing loss: Victims who suffer these losses must adjust their lives to incredible limitations.
If you suffered these or any other types of catastrophic injuries that changed the way you live and manage your life, speak to H&P Law. Do not agree to a settlement from the insurance company until you discuss your case, injuries, and long-term prognosis with us. You deserve maximized compensation.
What Makes a Catastrophic Injury More Challenging
We encourage every person with serious injuries to speak to an attorney during a free consultation, even if you decide not to move forward. In catastrophic injury cases, that is even more important. There are several reasons for this:
- Impact on your life means incredible change. These injuries often lead to the need for ongoing medical care, long-term support in your home, or big adjustments to your life. Things like working and caring for yourself become challenging. You need the financial means to pay for these adjustments.
- Insurance companies often act aggressively and quickly against you. They want you to settle quickly so they can limit the compensation they pay out. That happens at your loss. Your attorney handles conversations with insurance companies so they never pressure you into making the wrong decision about your future.
- These cases take time, but there are limits to how long you have to act. Under Nevada Revised Statutes § 11.190(4)(e), you have two years from the date of the accident to take action. However, you cannot settle too soon without knowing how your injury may affect your future. We make it our goal to ensure you have used every resource possible to recover fairly.
Set up a free consultation with our team to discuss your case. Let us review what happened to you, who is at fault, and what type and amount of compensation may be applicable in your case. Expect us to be aggressive in pursuing fair compensation for you. If for any reason we do not win your case, you pay us nothing.
Types of Accidents We Handle Involving Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries can happen in any type of accident, depending on the force, type of injury, and the treatment you receive. Some of the most common accidents we handle involving these types of injuries include:
- Car and truck accidents, especially high-speed accidents like those along The North Aliante Parkway or Route 215
- Medical malpractice from anesthesia errors, surgical mistakes, failure or late diagnosis, or birth injuries
- Motorcycle accidents, often caused by others even though the rider may be blamed unfairly
- Pedestrian accidents including those involving children
- Product liability cases involving consumer products that fail, medication-related side effects, or explosions
- Premises liability matters including injuries from dog attacks, swimming pool accidents, and negligent security
Our catastrophic injury attorney in Aliante will gather as much information as possible about what caused your accident and then work to build your case. We seek out all parties at fault, including third parties you may not realize played a role in your accident. This opens the door for additional avenues for pursuing compensation for your losses.

Types of Damages You May Be Able to Recover in a Catastrophic Injury Case
Victims of catastrophic injuries often face incredible loss, but the burden of proof in each of those situations is on you, the victim. When you hire our team, we gather evidence to demonstrate the full extent of your losses and your right to fair compensation. Some of the losses you may be owed include:
- All medical expenses: Including current and future medical care, in-home support, future medical procedures, and medications
- Lost wages: Compensation for all wages you missed due to being unable to work
- Loss of earning capacity: Many victims are unable to go back to work, or may need to learn a new skill to continue to work, which demands fair compensation
- Pain and suffering: Compensation paid to you for the intense pain and ongoing suffering you are experiencing due to the accident
- Emotional trauma: Including the trauma experienced, mental health complications, and future limitations on your quality of life
- Loss of consortium: Many people with serious injuries face a constant battle for recovery, and that can impact relationships for many
Your life expectancy may be shorter. Your needs for advanced care may be greater. Before you agree to any settlement from the insurance company, let us take a closer look.
