Everyone there was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. My car was totaled, and I was a little intimidated talking with a couple of other lawyers in Greenville. But with Christian and Christian, not only did they answer my questions, but they did so in a way that made what could have been a hectic situation, easy. Overall, an excellent experience with high quality lawyers who truly go above and beyond and really try to get you the results or answers you need.

I met Josh like 4 years ago when my Son was injured at Daycare. He was very concerned about the well being of my Child and Me. Very Understanding Professional and Just a great Staff. If You need a Lawyer that’s all about YOU this is the Place. I just closed a Case on 6/23/2021 from a injury on a Property. They handled everything because no one else would help Me. I’m forever grateful for Your hard Work and Time. Once again Thank You Josh and Sally.

My husband was referred to this law firm from another lawyer after his mother passed away while residing in a nursing home. Matt took on his case and we are pleased with how everything turned out. It took a long, long time to finally settle, but it was worth the wait. The staff here is friendly and I’d be happy to recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.

I was referred to Harold by a family friend, and I couldn’t be happier. He took the time to listen to my case, answered all my questions and truly treated me like a friend not a client. His knowledge of medical malpractice is priceless he actually successfully won, one of the first medical malpractice cases in Greenville County.

Greenville Catastrophic Injury Lawyers
Let Our Experienced Lawyers Fight for You.
Catastrophic injury includes severe damage to the spine, spinal cord, or brain. Whether it was in a car accident, the result of a workplace disaster, or was the result of a terrible sports incident, catastrophic injuries can result in death or a severe functional disability.
Catastrophic injuries can result in the following disabilities:
- Quadriplegia
- Spinal fractures
- Spinal dislocations
- Disc herniation
- Mental deficiency
Typically a catastrophic injury is so grievous it requires long-term care and prevents an individual from performing any gainful work. Therefore, long-term disability is necessary to pay a person’s medical bills and daily care.
Types of Catastrophic Injury
Catastrophic injuries are often classified as brain injuries, burn injuries, or spinal cord injuries. Whether these injuries are sustained by trauma from auto accidents or through medical malpractice, the effects of each injury can be devastating.
- Brain Injury: The two common types of brain injury are Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). TBI’s are often the result of devastating injuries like motor vehicle accidents, assault, or falls. ABI’s , or Non-Traumatic Brain Injury, can result from a stroke, aneurysm, infectious disease, and more.
- Burn Injury: While burns are often considered to be injuries to the skin, they can also have lasting impacts on a person’s nervous system and mobility. Extensive burns can lead to blindness and life-long health problems.
- Spinal Cord Injury :Damage to the spinal cord can cause long-term nerve damage leaving some paralyzed and other grappling with life-long pain and immobility. Spinal cord injuries can lead to other life-threatening health conditions.
Long-Term Costs
Apart from the physical and mental anguish someone may suffer as a result of a catastrophic injury, people might also suffer monetarily. Typically, those who experience such enormous damages will need to make a life care plan that addresses their health and wellness for the rest of their lives.
Not only will medical care need to be covered, but other expenses will be incoming as well, such as:
- Making house renovations for ease of patient movement
- Transportation that allows room for wheelchairs
- Assistive medical technology
- Home care and services
- Facility care and services
One estimate puts catastrophic injury costs around $5.7 million in lost earnings, care costs, and rehabilitative services. While Medicaid can help pay for some of these expenses, you want to make sure the costs are fully covered.
