What is a Catastrophic Injury?

Personal injuries that are life changing - traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis - are categorized as "catastrophic." Sometimes permanent, sometimes diabling, but always life-changing. And, a catastrophic injury requires a serious personal injury lawyer to see the process through to ensure that the best recovery is achieved. We are serious personal injury attorneys.

When Should I Take My Claim to Trial?

Too many catastrophic injury claims are prematurely settled when the victim accepts a large (but inadequate) settlement offer that later proves insufficient to cover the full range of his or her needs. Our lawyers know how to evaluate your situation and document your damages accurately so that you will be protected against the risk of an insufficient settlement on a catastrophic injury claim. Knowing the "right number" is a critical part of the process and we focus on evaluating every case correctly from the start. And, a true trial attorney handling serious personal injury cases must be ready, willing and able to present a case to a jury, if necessary, when settlement talks break down short of the "right number." We have no reservations about trials, as our experience has shown.

Types of Catastrophic Injury Cases We Handle

We handle serious, severe, often disabling, personal injury cases, for example:

  • Mild, moderate, or severe traumatic brain injury
  • Closed head injury resulting in cognitive loss, personality change, or mood disorder
  • Spinal cord injury, paraplegia, or quadriplegia
  • Severe burn injuries suffered in a fire, explosion, or chemical exposure
  • Amputation of an arm, leg, hand, or foot
  • Blindness or deafness
  • Loss of any major organ or bodily function
  • Extensive scarring and disfigurement

Permanent and catastrophic injuries can result from motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, defective pharmaceutical products, or even medical negligence during childbirth. Our lawyers have extensive experience with the proof of severe injury claims resulting from a wide variety of causes.


Not only do we work closely with your medical treatment team to monitor your current condition and prognosis, we also work with outstanding consulting and forensic physicians, economists, rehabilitation experts, and life care plan professionals so that all of your losses and future requirements are properly documented and clearly presented. We leave nothing to chance in working toward the greatest amount of compensation possible for your injuries.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Each year, approximately 1.4 million people sustain traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in the United States. About 20% of these head injuries are caused by motor vehicle accidents. If you, or a loved one, have recently sustained a brain injury caused by someone else’s negligence in Georgia, you should speak with an Georgia brain injury lawyer as soon as possible. During this difficult time, insurance companies or the negligent party may offer you a settlement for far below what your current and future medical care will cost, let alone the toll your injuries will take on your quality of life. That is why it is critical you do not speak to the insurance company or sign a settlement offer until you have consulted an experienced Georgia brain injury lawyer.


A serious head injury can change your, or your loved one’s, thinking, learning, behavior, emotions, and language. Unfortunately, the damage created by a traumatic brain injury may last for years or remain permanent and require life-long care, rehabilitation, and expensive ongoing medical treatments.

Spinal Cord Injury

Each year, over 10,000 people in the U.S. sustain spinal cord injuries. A serious spinal cord injury can completely change you and your family’s lives. These injuries often require long-term or life-long care that can cause devastating financial and emotional consequences. If you, or a loved one, have recently sustained a spinal cord injury due to someone else’s negligence, the spinal cord injury attorneys at Doyle Law can help.

These types of injuries vary in complexity and depth, and may require months or years of physical rehabilitation or permanent disability. It is for these reasons that it is imperative that you contact an experienced Georgia spinal cord injury lawyer.
