Catastrophic Injuries & Wrongful Death
Catastrophic-injury and wrongful-death matters ask two questions at once: what happened, and what it changed. This category covers severe nonfatal injuries, including brain injuries, amputations, and burns, and wrongful-death matters, where the family and estate questions are addressed.
Detailed Practice Areas
- Wrongful DeathA wrongful-death matter in Texas has two connected records: the event that caused the death, and the family and estate context that determines who may act. The firm investigates the first and handles the second with care.
- Catastrophic InjuriesA catastrophic injury is documented in two records: the event that caused it, which is investigated for its setting, and the lasting change to the person’s body, function, work, and daily life, built from acute care through rehabilitation to qualified assessments of future needs.
- Traumatic Brain InjuriesA brain injury is documented from the event and the first evaluation through imaging, neurological and neuropsychological assessment, and the record of symptoms and function over time, with the person’s history before the injury read alongside it.
- Amputation InjuriesLimb loss is documented in two connected records: the event that caused it, and the course that followed, from surgery and rehabilitation through prosthetic fitting and the changes to work and daily life.
- Burn InjuriesA burn is documented as its own record: how deep and how extensive it was, what treatment followed, and what changed in function, appearance, and daily life. The fire, release, or contact that caused it is investigated separately.
