Catastrophic Injuries

Accidents can happen anywhere and at any time. Activities as simple as driving your car to work or shopping in the grocery store can turn into a nightmare, especially if you suffer catastrophic injuries as a result. Catastrophic injuries can include everything from burns, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and more. Some are life-threatening, but even those that aren't can still change your life and the lives of your loved ones forever. At the Olsinski Law Firm, PLLC, our catastrophic injury lawyers proudly represent accident victims throughout the Charlotte and Concord areas, providing them the exceptional representation to ensure they receive the justice they deserve.

Catastrophic injuries are those that significantly alter a person's life. They usually involve the loss of motor functions, a limb or a major disruption to the central nervous system. When people suffer injuries of this type, it often means that their bodies or minds will never be the same again. Those who suffer catastrophic injuries are unlikely to be able to return to their old job or even hold any job at all, given the severity of their limitations.

Catastrophic injuries can occur in all types of accidents; however, the most common accidents causing these injuries include:

• Car accidents,
• Truck accidents,
• Motorcycle accidents,
• Pedestrian accidents,
• Workplace accidents,
• Falls, and
• Injuries caused by dangerous or defective products.
