If a catastrophic injury has changed your life forever, you deserve real answers and long-term support. We help seriously injured clients recover compensation that reflects the full cost of what was taken.
When the Damage Is Permanent, Your Case Deserves More
Not all injuries heal. Catastrophic injuries—like spinal cord damage, brain trauma, amputations, or severe burns—can affect every part of your life, from how you move to how you work, think, or care for your family. At Parrish Law Firm, we handle high-stakes injury claims that demand full attention, aggressive advocacy, and a long-view strategy.
What Counts as a Catastrophic Injury in Georgia?
Catastrophic injuries often involve permanent disability, extreme pain, and ongoing medical care. We represent clients with:
- Spinal cord injuries (paralysis, paraplegia, quadriplegia)
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Loss of limbs or amputations
- Severe burn injuries
- Organ damage or internal trauma
- Crushed bones or multiple complex fractures
- Blindness, deafness, or loss of bodily function
We work with medical specialists and life care planners to fully understand the lifetime impact of these injuries.
Common Causes of Catastrophic Injury
We see catastrophic harm in a wide range of cases, including:
- Truck and commercial vehicle accidents
- Motorcycle and pedestrian crashes
- Construction and workplace accidents
- Product failures or industrial equipment defects
- Medical malpractice or surgical negligence
- Fires, explosions, or electrical burns
When negligence leads to permanent loss, the stakes are higher—and so is our level of preparation.
Imagine This
You’re rear-ended by a box truck on I-285 during rush hour. Your car spins out and slams into a barrier. You’re diagnosed with a spinal cord injury and partial paralysis. The trucking company’s insurer offers a fast, lowball settlement. In instances like these, we can step in, retain medical experts and vocational economists, and secure a settlement that covers lifetime medical care, lost earnings, adaptive equipment, and your pain.
Why Catastrophic Injury Cases Need a Specialist
These cases often require:
- Extensive medical and expert testimony
- Long-term cost projections (home care, lost income, adaptive tech)
- Vocational evaluations and life expectancy analysis
- Clear future damages presentation to insurers or juries
We build a comprehensive case that accounts for
both today’s needs and tomorrow’s realities.
Let’s talk about your case before time runs out.
FAQs: Catastrophic Injury Cases in Georgia
What’s the difference between a personal injury and catastrophic injury case?
Catastrophic injury cases involve permanent and life-altering injuries. They typically result in much higher damages and require more extensive expert support.
How are damages calculated in these cases?
We calculate short- and long-term losses, including medical care, lost earning potential, required support services, and pain and suffering. A life care plan is often part of our case strategy.
Is there a cap on damages in Georgia?
There is no cap on economic damages, and punitive damages may apply in rare cases. We fight to recover the maximum available under the law.
