Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic Injury Attorneys in Bloomington, MN

Experienced Legal Support for Life-Changing Injuries

Catastrophic injuries are severe, resulting in long-term, if not permanent, disability or disfigurement. They have profound implications for victims and their families, significantly impacting their ability to lead a normal life and necessitating extensive medical treatment and ongoing care. 

The high medical bill costs, out-of-pocket expenses, and potential for lost wages make these cases far more complex than those involving less serious injuries. Those injured may require in-home personal care to accomplish everyday tasks, home or vehicle renovations to accommodate physical disabilities, and lifelong medical equipment, prescriptions, or repeat surgeries. 

Quality of life, employability, loss of independence, and the emotional effects of permanent disability also contribute to the impact and the potential damages of these cases. 

Some personal injury firms will take on any injury, regardless of the severity; that is not our goal at JD Haas & Associate PLLC. Our mission is to provide compassionate legal support for people who have endured wrongful deaths and life-changing injuries, such as those deemed catastrophic. 

Making a difference for those going through life’s most challenging moments drives us, which is why our focus is reserved for the most severe and complex cases. Because of this concentration, we have become highly competent in what we do. You can trust our legal team for relationship-based support and comprehensive personal injury services in Minneapolis, St. Paul, statewide, and other service areas

Our Catastrophic Injury Representation

We handle various catastrophic injury cases from car, truck, motorcycle, other traffic accidents, slip and fall accidents, criminal attacks, and other scenarios involving negligence or intentional wrongdoing.

These injuries can include: 

  • Brain injuries: Brain injuries can range from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries, which can cause permanent neurological damage, cognitive impairment, and behavioral changes.
  • Spinal cord injuries: These can lead to partial or complete paralysis, requiring lifelong medical care and assistance.
  • Amputation injuries: The loss of a limb has a profound impact on a person's life, affecting mobility and independence.
  • Severe burns: Third and fourth-degree burns can lead to significant scarring, disfigurement, and physical impairment and require extensive medical treatment.
  • Blindness: Loss of vision can drastically impact a person's quality of life, affecting their independence and ability to carry out daily activities.
  • Disfigurement: Injuries leading to significant scarring or disfigurement can have psychological and emotional ramifications, affecting a person's self-esteem and social interactions.

Furthermore, catastrophic injuries are the most likely to lead to death.

Types of Compensation We Help Recover

We help victims recover compensation for economic and non-economic damages from catastrophic injuries. These include medical expenses, future medical care costs, lost wages, loss of future earnings, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium.

Timeline for Filing a Minnesota Catastrophic Injury Lawsuit 

In Minnesota, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the injury. However, certain conditions may extend or shorten this period. It's critical to consult with an attorney promptly after the accident to ensure your rights are protected.
